Abstract

Confucianism in general, and Confucian ideals in particular, which arrived in Vietnam in the first centuries of our era, were accepted by our Vietnamese dynasties and have served as ideological functions for a long time. Furthermore, Confucian morality has played a significant role in Vietnamese traditional life. Additionally, Confucian virtues have had a long-standing influence on Vietnamese society. It has had a beneficial and detrimental impact on public life since its inception. The purpose of the article is to examine the tactics of Confucian politics’ influence on modern Vietnamese society and our societal problems. The relevance of customs, traditions, and beliefs, as well as the cult of ancestor worship, is highlighted; the value of moral education in the family is emphasized; and the influence of public opinion is being highly considered. Along with that, the impact of Confucian principles on Vietnamese society is examined, both through the institutions of communal self-government in villages and communes and through policy implementation. The author points out various inconsistencies between Confucian principles and modern Vietnamese society. Further modernization, according to the author, should be accomplished not by shattering the ideals embodied in Vietnamese society or by Confucianism’s standards, but by adapting their individual provisions to the needs of the present.
