    Created by Zhu Xi Zhu Xi, Han Song integrated blend of exegetical and moral principles, through the comments of Confucian classics and re-determined ritual order, not only the development of Confucianism has made a great contribution, but also to China's education system, social customs of far-reaching, and Japan, Korea and Vietnam, the culture had a positive impact. The experts first thought on some of the core value of Zhu Xi put forward their views. Some scholars believe that Zhu's philosophy in essence is a practical philosophy, Zhu stressed "respect" of the training effort, it is fundamental to achieve the highest good, and "respect" the feelings, is the equivalent of a sacred religious sentiment; metaphysical nature of philosophy of Zhu Xi, which is not divorced from the real relationship between man and nature, metaphysics, but they expressed the harmony between man and nature the existence of the state, should solve the problem of human way of life.

    Another scholar Zhu Xi's Theory of Mind on the structure and the internal tension of the excavation and stood there Zhu, heart and sexual / relationship management is a tension of separation and overlap existing process, from the body, the heart and of should be uniform, but the reality is concerned, the two are separate. Zhu Zizhe of learning kung fu, is a joint in the heart, so that the process of reunification between the two. Some scholars further said that Zhu's philosophy as a "teleological jurisprudence" that the purpose of re-interpretation of Zhu Xi language of thought, to avoid even the lifting of the pattern of traditional metaphysics (especially the Western pattern) with regard to ideological speech inherent difficulties. In other words, the practical implication of Zhu Xi thought a "dynamic purpose and structure," In sum, although the static perturbation of Zhu Xi to a photo and more to the body taken by, the rationale for the first gas, but such deposit Some commentators, very different from the nature of the Western metaphysics of pure speculative deduction, there is still a theory of life, and not leave practical reason is the effort of both the purpose of full-size human nature and behavior of reflection and self-realization.

    Scholars have also focused on discussing the issue of text interpretation. Some experts believe that Zhu Xi for the "Book of Changes" interpretation, but a solution of Cheng Yi, "easy" direction of thinking and turn on the question, not only affirmed the "easy" the moral principles, but also to restore its position as a book of divination original, change the Cheng Yi, "Li is very prepared statement, like the number is less in the" interpretation of ideas, and learn that Zhu Xi's view, is greatly influenced later thinking of Wang Fu-chih. Scholars as well as the interpretation of issues at the thought of Zhu Xi broader context of East Asia among Japanese scholars from the study Disheng Sorai advocated by the "old school" approach paper discusses the criticism of Zhu Xi and the limits of Japan that Japan Zhu Xi innovation, is a concentrated expression of the historical level, the Japanese foreign culture in the process of drawing, through the "inner nature" leaving "foreign" things "Japan" of the process, and this process can be regarded as a thought of Zhu Xi interpretation of the moral realm to the political wisdom from the basic conversion.

    In addition, there are specialists devoted to Zhu Xi thought and Buddhism, Discrimination between the view of issues and Zhu's spirits. First, Confucian and Buddhist scholar Zhu Xi's fate as a typical example, analysis of Buddhism from the early years of the study, to bid farewell to the formation of Buddhism and thus the process of their sense of criticism that Zhu Xi to Buddhism, not only affects the later Confucians Buddhism consciousness, led to a certain extent, beyond the consciousness of Science digestion, causing the Ming and Qing Han turned academic. Another scholar Zhu Xi's words on "Reason" and Zhuangzi "Speaking Truth" compared to "Reason" and "Li yi fen shu," the focus on to discuss the background of Zhu Xi's ideas and Taoist associations, and thus to Zhu Xi so-called "truth" or "heaven" and Zhuangzi so-called "Road", "Reason," "Heaven," "Justice" and other concepts were clarified to reveal the Chu Hsi would Zhuangxue Si grafted to the framework to which the advantages and disadvantages of Confucianism. Similarly, some scholars devoted to the spirits of Zhu Xi's view that the spirits of Zhu Xi, is different from the concept of a personal God of Western religion is also different from the modern materialist atheism, and integration with the gods, spiritual, physical and life world of characteristics.
