  Abstract:  The article deals with the Confucian values in the context of Confucian revival in contemporary China, on the one hand, and with Confucian thought represented by its rang 讓 (“soft”, yielding) type values in dialogue with the Western world on the other. Based on several works by Western authors in the field, the article reviews the matters of metamorphosis and adaptation of the Confucian spirit to contemporary Chinese world, with a stress on the inclination toward communalism, apparently a constant socio-cultural feature in China.

Keywords: Confucianism, rang (“to yield”, “to concede”), communalism.
