Chinese classic texts or canonical texts () refers to the Chinese texts which originated before the imperial unification by the Qin dynasty in 221 BC, particularly the "Four Books and Five Classics" of the Neo-Confucian tradition, themselves a customary abridgment of the "Thirteen Classics".
 All of these pre-Qin texts were written in classical Chinese.
 All three canons are collectively known as the classics ( 經 ,  经 , "jīng",  "warp").
Korean Confucianism is the form of Confucianism that emerged and developed in Korea.
 One of the most substantial influences in Korean intellectual history was the introduction of Confucian thought as part of the cultural influence from China.
 Today the legacy of Confucianism remains a fundamental part of Korean society, shaping the moral system, the way of life, social relations between old and young, high culture, and is the basis for much of the legal system.
 Confucianism in Korea is sometimes considered a pragmatic way of holding a nation together without the civil wars and internal dissent that were inherited from the Goryeo dynasty, and before.
New Confucianism () is an intellectual movement of Confucianism that began in the early 20th century in Republican China, and further developed in post-Mao era contemporary China.
 It is deeply influenced by, but not identical with, the Neo-Confucianism of the Song and Ming dynasties.
 It is a neo-conservative movement of various Chinese traditions and has been regarded as containing religious overtones; it advocates for certain Confucianist elements of society - such social, ecological, and political harmony - to be applied in a contemporary context in synthesis with Western philosophies such as rationalism and humanism.
 Its philosophies have emerged as a focal point of discussion between Confucian scholars in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the United States.
The Four Books and Five Classics () are the authoritative books of Confucianism in China written before 300 BC.
New Text Confucianism () is a school of thought in Confucianism that was based on Confucian classics recompiled in the early Han dynasty by Confucians who survived the burning of books and burying of scholars during the Qin dynasty.
 The survivors wrote the classics in the contemporary characters of their time, and these texts were later dubbed as "New Text".
 New Text school attained prominence in the Western Han dynasty and became the official interpretation for Confucianism, which was adopted as the official ideology by Emperor Wu of Han.
 Represented by Confucians such as Dong Zhongshu, this school advocated a holistic interpretation of Confucian classics and viewed Confucius as a charismatic, visionary prophet, a sage who deserved the Mandate of Heaven but did not attain kingship due to circumstances.
 The school competed with Old Text Confucianism in the later Han dynasty and its dominance waned as the latter became the new orthodoxy.
 The school fell into obscurity during the chaotic period after the fall of the Han dynasty and remained so until late Ming dynasty in the 17th century.
Jangnye refers to Korean funerary rites.
 "Jangnye" has been practiced since the book "The Family Rituals of Zhu Xi" (朱子家禮, "Zhuzi jiali") was introduced from China during the Joseon Dynasty.
 Rulers during the era wanted to erase the Buddhist ceremonies of the previous dynasty, Goryeo, and to replace them with the ceremonies of Confucianism.
The Gōngyáng Zhuàn (, ) is a commentary on "Chunqiu", or the "Spring and Autumn Annals", and is thus one of the classic books of ancient Chinese.
 Along with the "Zuo Zhuan" and the "Guliang Zhuan", the work is one of the "Three Commentaries on the Spring and Autumn Annals".
 In particular, "Gongyang Zhuan" is a central work to New Text Confucianism (今文經學), which advocates Confucius as an institutional reformer instead of a respected scholar, and "Chunqiu" as an embodiment of Confucius' holistic vision on political, social, and moral issues instead of a merely chronicle.
 "Gongyang Zhuan" significantly influenced the political institution in Han Dynasty.
 It fell out of favor among elites and was eventually replaced by the "Zuo Zhuan".
 "Gongyang Zhuan" scholarship was reinvigorated in late Ming Dynasty and became a major source of inspiration for Chinese reformers from eighteen to early twentieth century.
Zhang Chao () was a Chinese litterateur and fiction writer from Anhui Province, China.
 He was born in 1650 during the Qing dynasty.

 He liked chess, calligraphy and painting and was good at various kinds of poetry.
 He was also interested in flowers, birds, fishes and insects.

The Uprising of the Five Barbarians () , is a Chinese expression referring refers to a series of uprisings between 304 and 316 by non-Han Chinese peoples living in Northeast Asia against the Jin dynasty (265–420).
 The uprisings helped topple Emperor Huai of Jin in Luoyang and ended the Western Jin dynasty.
 Rulers from five ethnic groups, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Qiang and Di, then established a series of independent kingdoms in what is now northern China.
 This period of Chinese history, known as the Sixteen Kingdoms (五胡十六國, 'sixteen kingdoms of the five barbarians'), lasted until the Northern Wei dynasty united northern China in the 5th century.
Christianity in China has a history going back to the 7th century during the Tang dynasty.
 Today, it comprises Catholics, Protestants, and a small number of Orthodox Christians.
 Although its lineage in China is not as ancient as Taoism, Mahayana Buddhism or Confucianism, Christianity has been one of the religions of China since at least the seventh century and has gained influence over the past 200 years.
 The number of Chinese Christians has increased significantly since the easing of restrictions on religious activity during economic reforms in the late 1970s; Christians were four million before 1949 (three million Catholics and one million Protestants).
