Qualifications of the future, "Confucianism" and "religion" and a connected nature of the study, from inquiries about whether Confucianism Confucian religious turn of the religious said why the discovery. This will be the Tang Junyi, Mou, Tu Wei-ming, Chung-ying Cheng, Liu Shu-xian, Schwartz and Fingarette Concept for the other seven scholars view basis, according to "trade through" the construct a background of Confucianism religious methodology, and proposed four types of science and philosophy Ren-related research, namely "day" in a text message comes from "people" of the interpretation of the direction of the etymology regardless certificate, the distinction between "day" the word of the "occurrence" and "application" both by different methodology, The "people as the days," the philosophy of human science-type of scenario analysis, and "days in people first "and" people like the days of "difference of two concept Concept Analysis. Through this four kinds of research to explore the key concept of Confucianism religious Concept - "day" meaning, hoping a change in the methodology, through Confucianism and religion are two areas of interaction, fasten "people like the days of" philosophical meaning of Confucianism's religious views again to reconstruct the basis of Confucian morality. The inquiry on the connection between "Confucianism" and "Religion" has transformed from "whether Confucianism is a religion" to "what's the religious aspect of Confucianism." Based on the ideas of seven scholars-Tang Jun-yi, Mo Zong-san , Tu Wei-ming, Cheng Zhong-ying, Liu, Shu-hsien, Benjamin Ⅰ. Schwartz and Herbert Fingarette-along with the background of Yi Jing, this article is to construct a methodology to inquire the religiousness of Confucianism. Besides, it also proposes four approaches that are related to philosophical anthropology: first, the etymological reasoning of how the word sign of "Tian" originated from "Ren" ; second, the methodology to distinguish the "occurrence" from the "application" of the word, "Tian; third, the contextual analysis of" Yi Ren Shiang Tian "in the style of philosophical anthropology; and fourth, the commentary on the differences between the two concepts-" ​​Tian Zan Ren Shian "and "Yi Ren Shiang Tian." Through these four approaches, we study the key concept of the religiousness of Confucianism-the meaning of "Tian"-in whishes to express again our ideas about the religiousness of Confucianism and re-construct the moral foundation of Confucianism
