The Sage at the Walden Pond :Thoreau and Confucianism

American superempiricalist author Thoreau was hardly known by people before his death. It is not until the nineties of the last century before Chinese readers really began to pay attention to him and show respect to him. His simple and brilliant life, especially his experiment of a simplified life style which represents a return to nature at the Walden Pond has won peoples' respect and admiration. His life style is not only full of American spirit , but also embodies the brilliant ancient Chinese civilization. His spirit and thoughts remind us of Confucius and Yanhui in ancient China. The combination of Thoreau, the Walden Pond and Confucianism is a legend.will glitter forever in the history of Sino-American cultural exchanges.
