The theory of Kongfu in NeoConfucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties was an expression of life in harmony with philosophic presentation of life on the basis of practical necessity rather than a theoretical claim logically in coordination with philosophic ontology. By revivifying his realistic dilemma of life, Luo Hongxian’s choice of or turn to the theory of Kongfu could reach a real understanding of historical and logical integrity. His theory of Kongfu presented four forms at two stages. The initial stage demonstrated “selfconfidence and true faith”, a form of the theory of Kongfu corresponding to “the view of conscience of existence”, and later converted to “persistence in faith and internalization”, “complete quietude with no desire” and “preserving attention by collecting the mind”, the other three forms of Kongfu underpainted mainly with “quietude”.
