In ancient Chinese philosophy,Buddhism has long been an integral part of ancient Chinese philosophy from the Wei and Jin dynasties to the prosperity of the Sui and Tang dynasties.Among them,the ideological system of Yogācāra was founded and prevalent after the translation of a large number of Buddhist scriptures brought back by Xuan Zang,a monk in the Tang Dynasty,who traveled westward to India,and its meaning is complex and obscure.However,the wind of revival has gradually sprung up in modern times.This paper takes "feeling" as the starting point.In the history of ancient Chinese philosophy,both Confucianism and Taoism have done some research on this issue,and in modern times,many scholars have put forward many opinions on Confucianism and Taoism respectively.However,it remains to be studied on this issue in the field of Buddhist philosophy.Yogācāra not only constructs a world on the other side,but also explains and analyzes all kinds of phenomena and problems in this world,that is,the real world.The purpose of this paper is to take "feeling" as the center and analyze the premise,generation and disappearance of feeling in epistemology,so as to achieve a more comprehensive philosophical explanation of the proposition of "feeling" in epistemology.First of all,"feeling" is an interaction between human beings and the world,so it is necessary to clarify the first premise of feeling,that is,how matter and human beings come into being.Secondly,it discusses the mechanism through which people interact with the world to produce our usual sense of feelings,and other psychological phenomena.Finally,we discuss how the feeling of discussion disappears,when it disappears,and other things about feeling.The discussion of "felling" in Chinese philosophy is not an empty,but Yogācāra can integrate and explain it with its unique structure,and can even analyze the hierarchical structure of human psychology in depth.Compared with other schools of Chinese philosophy,it does have its uniqueness.Even today,with the development of science,we can also continue to cross-study with other disciplines for a long time.However,we should also see that Yogācāra after all belongs to the religious background,and some of them are limited to the imagination of the ancients and unscientific due to the development of science,technology,economy and society at that time,which should be paid attention to in today’s research.It is necessary to examine the value of Yogācāra from a more objective and scientific point of view.
