Neo's "inquiring" On Confucian philosophy results in the most developed theory of knowledge, its main feature is an objective demand of cognitive thinking outside the lines, but this line of thinking and subjective introspection of classical Chinese philosophy, the great tradition at odds , therefore there was no substantial impact on future generations of Science. Neo "inquiring" On the failure of the whole tragedy of their fate is a microcosm, its understanding of the development of ancient Chinese science behind some important revelation. Both the Brothers Cheng and Zhu Xi advocated the principle of "From Object-observing to Knowledge" which was one of the best achievements of China epistemology in Confucianism. Its main characteristic was to study the phenomena of nature in order to acquire knowledge by out- searching way, which was reverse to the tradition of China ancient philosophy by internal examination way so it did little basic influence in later New-Confucianism. Its failure, as an epitome of the whole tragedy of Cheng-Zhu New Confucianism, was significant to grasp the reasons of the backward development of China ancient science
