Learn from the foundation of the ram as "Kung-yang," the key to the formation of Gongyang Dong, and then a master of what Gongyang off, he reflects the specific concept of Yi Xia theory development path. "Kung-yang," inherited the Confucian Yi Xia Yan's other ideas, but highlights the propriety of this distinction Yixia cultural standards; Dong developed the "ram mass" thinking, not only to distinguish more fine-Yi Xia, stressed that "from the change from justice", and certainly from the perspective of unified Germany, the king of Shii need; He Xiu Yi Xia school of ram Distinction by the development of malpractices in its history, "III," and Yi Xia said Distinction combined with a history of the development vision of Yi Xia relationship, ensure that "peace" of the world is a world without Yixia other unified society. The differentiation between Cathay and barbarians is an important part of the theory of Han Dynasty's Gongyangxue. The theory of Gongyangxue is vividly reflected from is foundation works Gongyangzhuan to the key figure Dong Zhongshu and its epitomizer He Xiu. Gongyangzhuan inherited Xian Qin's Confucian thought to differ barbarians from Cathay strictly, but it emphasized rites as a standard to differ the two groups. Dong Zhongshu developed Gongyangzhuan's idea by not only differing the two groups in a stricter way, emphasizing "the ground of change and rites", but also endorsed the necessity of moralizing the minoritites from the perspective of unity. Combining his "Sanshi" with the differentiation between Cathay and babrnarians, He Xiu studied the relationship in a historical way and agreed that the degree of "Taiping" is a united world where there is no prejudice towards the so-called barbarians
