Neo-confucianism is a broad term for a loose collection of philosophical ideas influenced by or based on the writings of Confucius, the Chinese philosopher. It strongly influenced the development of Korean society, and it was the official state ideology at one point. It is still very prevalent, although not always expressed explicitly.

This is such an interesting answer. It's accurate and very detailed requiring work and research, yet provides absolutely no useful information relevant to the thread and context in which it appears. I'm so curious how it came to be.

Your comment is also lacking in useful information, but with the added flair of entitled condescension.

No one here owes you anything. You're on the internet. If you want information, look it up yourself instead of whinging on about how someone else didn't do the job for you.

It refers to Confucianism as it was revived during and after the Song dynasty (성리학). In the case of Korea, it typically refers to the orthodoxy that traces its heritage back to Confucius through Zhuxi, the Cheng brothers, and Mencius.

Also not to be confused with New Confucianism, which is a modern Chinese development of Confucianism.
