This is an issue of the times before China people. In order to save the country, the Reform Movement, represented by Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, was launched. In order to seek theoretical support for the reform, on the one hand, they devoted themselves to the recasting and transformation of China's traditional thought, on the other hand, they absorbed western thoughts such as humanitarianism, natural human rights theory and evolution theory for the first time. In the struggle with the old school, the enlightenment thinkers of the reformists realized that the transformation of society is first and foremost the transformation of people. Only by deeply understanding the human nature and the new personality needed by the new era can we better promote reform and change and promote the progress of China. Therefore, the ideological focus at this time is to criticize the old view of human studies and rediscover people, so establishing a new view of human studies has become the main theme of philosophical reform. Kang Youwei, Tan Sitong, Yan Fu, Liang Qichao and other enlightenment thinkers grasped the pulse of the times and made great contributions to transforming the concept of human studies. Their thoughts have successively formed the basic clues for the development of modern new concept.
