The rise of Neo-Confucianism in China was caused by the Confucianism scholars in the late Tang (618-907) and the early Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127) who wanted to reconstruct the leading status of Confucianism in the society of China and tried to reject the superstitious and mystical elements of Daoism and Buddhism because Daoism and Buddhism were the dominant ideologies of the Chinese and reducing the importance of Confucianism. Therefore, Zhuxi (, 1130-1200) and other Confucianism scholars tried to make use of the thought of Daoism and Buddhism to explain the Confucianism as a philosophical and intellectual way. His effort was accepted by the Song court and therefore his interpretation and Near the end of the Kory (918-1392) period, An Hyang (, 1243-1306) brought the Complete Works of Zhuxi ( Zhuzi quanshu) to the Korean Peninsula and Neo-Confucianism was introduced to the society and greatly affected the thought of Chosn scholars. In 1388, Kory general Yi Sng-kye (, 1335-1408, Chosn's T'aejo ( ), r. 1392-1398) swept his army from the Yalu River straight into the capital and dominated the power of Kory court. After Yi established political power, he shortly after founded the new dynasty of Chosn to replace Kory. Although his action was not supported by some Confucianism scholars, such as Chng Mong-ju (, 1337-1392), Yi Saek (, 1328-1396) and Kil Chae (, 1353-1419), he still encouraged Confucianism to be the dominant idea for the social structure, diplomatic policy and governance of the Chosn court. 5 Chosn maintained the elaboration dominated the ideology of Confucianism. Confucianism scholars in China needed to understand the thought of Zhuxi when they needed to get a pass for the imperial examination. Afterwards, this dominated ideology was learnt from the Korean scholars and made it to be the formation of the social structure.
