The scholars in Qing dynasty believed that Confucius wrote Chunqiu to show the idea of simplicity. They focused on this idea when studying The Analects. Different scholars looked at The Analects in different ways: some focused on sentences, others on sections, and some on individual words. Despite these differences, they all aimed to create a consistent way of explaining simplicity in The Analects. They emphasized common themes but overlooked the connections between ideas. This approach can help us understand The Analects better and the ideas of political reform by Kang Youwei.
