Confucianism transformed into Confucianism in the Western Han Dynasty and established its unique position. However, it really spread in depth throughout the country and successfully took root in the folk, which took place in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Based on the biography of Hou Han Shu and the analysis of the important historical events in the history of Confucianism in the Eastern Han Dynasty, this paper makes a thorough interpretation of the overall development of Confucianism in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so as to reveal the development characteristics of Confucianism in the Eastern Han Dynasty and its influence on later generations. This article is divided into three parts. The first chapter analyses the establishment and historical characteristics of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It understands the status of Confucianism at the beginning of the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the importance that the rulers attached to Confucianism. Through the development of the central Taixue, local official schools and private schools, the Eastern Han Dynasty has formed a relatively perfect education system, which disseminates Confucian values to the most basic level from the top to the bottom through In the second chapter, the external development situation and internal development characteristics of Confucian classics are deeply interpreted. This paper makes a detailed analysis of the process and characteristics of the three disputes between modern and ancient literary works in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so as to understand concretely the upper history of ancient literary works in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Combining with the classical system recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, this paper makes an in-depth study of the problems of the teaching and family law of the Eastern Han Dynasty, thus revealing the characteristics of the confusion of family law and the re-generalization of the study of Confucian classics in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the end, it analyses the internal and external factors of the development of modern texts and classics to understand the reasons for the loss of official status after the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the third chapter, by analyzing the biographies of Confucian scholars in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, we can understand the academic level, moral height and political ability of Confucian scholars, and study how Confucianism promoted the formation of the political style of "moral administration" and the scholarly style of "Heavy Name Festival" in the Eastern Han Dynasty. At the same time, the study of the influence of Confucianism in the Eastern Han Dynasty on history and literature finds that the development process of Confucianism in the Eastern Han Dynasty is consistent with the change of academic trend of thought. Confucianism rose with the unified dynasty and was deeply influenced by politics. At the same time, it profoundly changed Chinese society and laid a solid foundation for Chinese culture for two thousand years.
