The Influence of the Analects of Confucius in Eastern Europe — Take Russia as an Example

Eastern Europe's cultural circle primarily consists of Russia, Eastern Europe, and the Balkan Peninsula, with most inhabitants being Slavic people who follow the Eastern Orthodox Church. Our group has chosen Russia, a representative country within this cultural circle, to illustrate the impact of translating the Analects of Confucius in Eastern Europe.

Impact on Russian Writers — The Concept of "Benevolence" and Tolstoy

In Confucianism, it is acknowledged that people cannot avoid making mistakes throughout their lives. However, recognizing and rectifying these errors leads to benevolence. "Benevolence" originates from an individual's inner heart; thus, one must continually reflect upon their actions and consciously pursue internal moral goodness while never forgetting to love others. This process inspires inner goodness as the root of life's moral rationality, allowing "benevolence" to be naturally acquired.

Tolstoy's novel "The Resurrection" embodies his ethical and moral thoughts. Initially intending to write a moral teaching novel based on a lawsuit, Tolstoy changed his manuscript several times over ten years before finally creating a social problem novel with sharp class antagonism and strong political significance. The book contains numerous explorations of moral thoughts such as conscience and human nature. Most importantly, through the protagonist Nekhludov's confession and forgiveness towards Maslova, both characters experience a moral and spiritual "resurrection," allowing humanity to return from loss and achieve self-perfection. Tolstoy's concept of "moral self-perfection" aligns with Confucius' idea of "self-cultivation and benevolence."

Impact on Russian Politicians — The Doctrine of the Mean Thought and Medvedev

Confucius believed that the "Doctrine of the Mean" requires proper thinking, speech, and behavior while avoiding extreme thoughts and actions. As the Analects of Confucius spread throughout Russia, this doctrine gained appreciation among Russian politicians.

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has long been interested in Chinese culture, particularly due to his upbringing in St. Petersburg, a city deeply influenced by Oriental culture. In his 2009 article "Forward, Russia," Medvedev discussed Russia's modernization and reform process, stating: "We should learn from the wisdom of Chinese Confucius: little intolerance means chaos and great plan. Reform is certain, but the pace of reform should be gradual, carefully considered and phased." Clearly, he adheres to Confucius' Doctrine of the Mean.

As more people become exposed to the Russian translation of the Analects of Confucius, they recognize its inherent Confucian values. Russian scholars have found that practicing Confucianism benefits modern society's development; principles such as "the mean," "harmony," "humanity," and "governance" contribute to both domestic and foreign affairs. Furthermore, Confucianism's emphasis on moral self-improvement helps educate individuals and stabilize society.

Due to Russian scholars' persistent translation efforts and research, various segments of society—including writers, politicians, and ordinary citizens—have gained a deeper understanding of Confucian culture. The adoption of Confucian thought by senior intellectuals and political officials has had a significant impact on their beliefs and behaviors while also subtly benefiting the entire Russian population. The value of Confucian culture transcends time and space; it has moved beyond China's borders to enrich Russia as well. (512 words)
