摘　　要：While Confucianism is quite concerned about the people＇s welfare, its dominant political position is not ＂people-oriented＂ （min benwei 民本位） but rather ＂ruler-oriented＂ （wang benwei 王本位）, which is described by the New-Confucian thinker, Xiong Shili as ＂taking the great righteousness of being respectful to the ruler as the foremost.＂ In virtue of this very righteousness, Confucianism not only subordinates ＂people-orientation＂ to ＂ruler-orientation,＂ but also denies the value of the former for the sake of the latter in case of conflict.

关 键 词：CONFUCIANISM Ruler-orientation People-orientation Being respectful to the ruler Being affectionate to the people
