A new leadership fell back on the concept of patriotism as the main plank of post-Mao ideologies following the death of Mao Zedong and the end of the Cultural Revolution. Translations of a number of neo-Confucian texts are discussed along with the principles of Confucianism and their deployment in contemporary Chinese texts, considering that Confucianism was reintroduced as a strategy of stabilization, after the turmoil of the 1980s and the suppression of the democracy movement.
