How does the formulation of Neo-Confucianism by the Neo-Confucian school to which you have been (Zhu Xi or Wang Yangming) respond to the challenge posed by Buddhism? Feel free to refer to others who contributed to Neo-Confucianism, such as Zhou Dunyi, Han Yu, Li Ao, and the Cheng brothers (either or both).

Em Lovsin :
The way Zhu Xi (rationalists) contributed to the formation of Neo-Confucianism responds to the challenge posed by Buddhism by effectively synthesizing ideas from multiple schools of thought – including Buddhism. With his ‘great synthesis’, Zhu Xi is able to address the question of the nature of man with clarity and a definitive answer – and in doing so established the reason for ‘self-cultivation.’
As a result, we are able to distinguish between the principle of li, material force, and qi (the character), which meant that – specifically regarding li – buddhism was addressed in this idea of one collective governance of the cosmos.
Meaning, that Zhu Xi’s contributions in numerology and with his confident and rational evaluations of reality and metaphysics respond to buddhism in a way that strips away the mystical aspects that took away from its clarity; and therefore, created a clear and concise but not wholly disimilar way of thinking to follow.

Jing Zou:
As a university student living in 1962, I was very sorry to see on the news that the Soviet Union canceled all financial aid and withdrew all technical experts from China. Nevertheless, I do not think that China should try to revert to the Soviet model, and I also think that what Chinese society is going through now is just a process; it is difficult for a country to become strong without going through some hard times.
The Soviet model has been constructive for China and has demonstrated the strengths of the Soviet model and the developability of Chinese society. However, if China wants to keep having its own national identity and development model, it cannot rely on any one country.
If China had been dependent on the Soviet model, it would have been difficult for China to create its own identity and direction of development that would have suited its own country. There are similarities between the Soviet and Chinese social models, but they are not the same.
That is why China should also develop according to its national conditions, understand the needs of all classes of people, and constantly upgrade its social squares. With the joint promotion of these factors, China can also get along and stable development without depending on any model.
