Review on the Theory of Self-Cultivation of Islamic-Confucian

Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)

Presently, there are diverse interpretations and responses within academia concerning the concepts of "self-cultivation and realm" and "moral cultivation and spiritual exercise." Since the Islamic Confucian philosophical system lacks an internal transformation and adjustment mechanism of "Ontology-Cultivation-Realm", it can only be discussed within the content of Sufi practice. However, the Sufi approach does not meet the needs of all the modern Chinese Muslims although the relationship between the two is closely intertwined, the actions of a select few individuals may not entirely address the cognitive and emotional needs of the majority. Conversely, the ethical transformation in Chinese translated texts during the Ming and Qing Dynasty broadens its scope beyond mosque attendees to encompass a wider spectrum of believers. This shift has significant implications for the philosophy of self-cultivation.
