Abstract
Numerous studies have been conducted in recent years on the relationship between the Confucian Five Cardinal Relationships and Hong Kong society in the field of parental influence, familism, filial piety and goodness. However, studies have largely been confined to narrowly conceptual, non-structural and simplifying analysis about the influence of the Five Cardinal Relationships in Hong Kong. This study explores the structural and conceptual change of the Five Cardinal Relationships as well as the influence of Hong Kong’s government policy and education on their development after 1981 through the following research questions:
(1) Has the structure of the Five Cardinal Relationships changed in modern society?
(2) Have the foundational concepts of the Five Cardinal Relationships changed in modern society?
(3) How has Hong Kong’s government policy and education enhanced the Five Cardinal Relationships?
A mixed-method approach consisting of data and document analysis is adopted to explore these questions. This research consequently discovers that the structure and foundational concepts of the five relationships gradually changed in Hong Kong society after 1981. Government policies have enhanced the structure of parent-child relationships and friendship, while education has enhanced the concepts of filial piety, fraternal deference, trustworthiness and loyalty.
