As a great philosopher in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties,Wang Fuzhi was not only the critic and summarizer of Confucianism in the Song and Ming dynasties,but also the critic and summarizer of the whole traditional Chinese philosophy.He started from the critical reflection of neo-confucianism,and finally put it back to Zhang Zai.He thought Zhang Zai's theory is the most authentic one.This paper takes the internal structure of Chuanshan's thought as the framework and based on the cosmology of Chuanshan's thought of Chi,demonstrates its construction of human nature from the following three parts.In the view of human nature,he inherited and carried forward Zhang Zai's theory of the nature of Chi,The Taixu is real have,and Chi is promoted to be the Chi theory of "the unity of heaven and man".He put forward that "li and Chi have the name of nature",that means the li is a part of Chi and concentrated in human is the nature of adults.He criticized the basis of the concept of the end of the natural gas of Zhuxi,and put forward that the concept of the unity of the natural gas is the basis of his theory of human nature,Wang Fuzhi's theory of humanity is based on the reality of the flesh and blood of the ordinary people,rather than the abstract,purely moral people.He believed that human nature has both moral attributes and natural attributes such as tangibility and color.From the perspective of the universality of both reason and desire,he recognized the legitimacy and positive role of human desire,and criticized Cheng and Zhu's view of "the existence of natural principles and the destruction of human desire".On the other hand,he also set foot in the real world,and emphasis the importance of people's subjective initiative,practice to understand the principal of all things.and to become a better human.Wang Fuzhi defined human nature as a dynamic,self-developing and self-i mproving process with the eternal movement and change of gasification and po pularity,and put forward the idea of "Nature produces every day and becomes everyday".It is also emphasized that the goodness of human beings should be achieved through practice and practice in the growth of our life.Different fromtraditional Confucianism,Wang Fuzhi's theory of human nature has much in co mmon with modern personality,so it has certain reference value for the social transformation and moral reconstruction we are facing now.
