Liu Xianxin differed from most scholars who belonged to the Oriental Culture School, who sought harmony between Eastern and Western cultures. Instead, he was a firm advocate of the theory of "irreconcilability". With the intention to avoid the malpractice of capitalism and the ideal of reforming society in mind, he contrasted the emphasis on commerce with the focus on agriculture. He aspired to practice the economic model of an agrarian society to create a benevolent, harmonious, and contented living environment, believing that Chinese culture remained vibrant and full of vitality. His vision was to establish a society on the "kingly way (wangdao)" of "kindness, frugality and tolerance". Liu Xianxin's ideas hold several significance implications: 1. They reflect the diversity within the Oriental Culture school and the agrarian tradition; 2. they illustrate the trajectory of blending old ethics with new morality in modern times; 3. they offer insights into the debate between moderate reform and revolutionary change; and 4. they promote thrift and a more emotionally rich life. These ideas are especially relevant in today's industrial and commercial society.
