Since Positivism was established, there was an often controversial question that whether Metaphysics was still valuable and deserving its ultimate position in philosophy. According to the problem of rationality, it is inevitable talk about knowledge and acquire knowledge method. If we talk about Metaphysics, we have to consider the probability and the way of unifying Category of experience and transcending experience. Metaphysics, as Chinese traditional"Dao"or western"God", although hard to be proofed, But the human ideas still given the metaphysical quite rich connotation and denotation, and thus affect human macmillan. Metaphysics in Chinese tradition, which had defined its culture and nationality, focused on mind and virtue, but with the inputting of western science and culture, deorientalization becomes its unavoidable fate in the past century. In this historical crossroad, some modern philosophers in china had to choose a way to set up their own philosophy. Jin Yuelin, a famous one, set up his philosophy with a compatible attitude, he tried to reconstruct traditional"Dao"with rationality and join the Chinese and Western tradition with logic.In this paper, I want to give a comprehensive analysis on Jin Yuelin's thought on a traditional proposition Wuji er Taiji, and objectively evaluate the merit and deficiency of his system. This paper has used a comparative method to analyze the content, form and method etc of Jin's thought on Wuji er Taiji, in this way, I want to find out the creative idea and value of his system of"Dao". This paper begins with the analysis on the contents and systematic discourses of Wuji er Taiji, then discusses the rationality and feasibility of Jin's combination of the Chinese and Western tradition, then tries to give an critical analysis on his New Wine in Old Bottle Model from rational and emotional viewpoint.
