The purpose of this thesis is to study concept of "the Publicity" in ancient classics in Asia. I refered to Book of Odes( 詩經), Analects(論語), Mencius(孟子), Collections of Chu Xi( 晦華集), Ri zhi lu( 日知錄). This thesis is to classify and reinterpret the concept of "the Publicity". The major types of it are as follows : first, "the Publicity" as the ascendancy of the king in Book of Odes. second, "the Publicity" as hereditary order in Analects, third, "the Publicity" as authority of the king in Mencius, fourth, "the Publicity" as political ascendancy in Collections of Chu Xi, fifth, "the Publicity" as public and private uniformity in Ri zhi lu.
