    Abstract Hsu Fu-Kuan asserts the importance of democracy, liberty and tradition, like other Contemporary Neo-Confucianism. By rethinking the classic articles of Confucianism, he asserted that there are similarities between Confucianism and Liberalism, and the sources of Confucianism only could be achieved the liberal goal by democratic system. What makes Hsu so prominent is his thought that \ue2Moral Innerism\ue2 and \ue2Moral Practices\ue2 constructed the Confucianism: \ue2Moral Innerism\ue2 of the goodness in human nature\ue2 always made people reminiscent of Kant, and this thesis is trying to explain that due to the second part, \ue2Moral Practices\ue2 in the surrounding environment and social network, which reflected Hsu Fu-Kuan\ue2s political thought with a prominet Communitarian Characteristic, that is why I labeled it as \ue2Communitarian Liberalism\ue2. Key Words: Hsu Fu-Kuan, Neo-Confucianism, Liberalism, Communitarianism, Communitarian Liberalis
