This paper is based on a reexamination of Mou Tsung-san'theory, such as fan-ben-kai-xin(return to the origin and open the new way), intellectual intuition, liang-zhi-kan-xian(conscience alienation), the man who is finite creature can become infinite, moral metaphysics, and so on. First of all, my paper is devoted to the task of interpreting Wang Yang-ming, Kant and Heidegger as a laying of ground for hsin(heart) and things and thus of placing the problem of kan-ying(affection) before us as a fundamental metaphysics, which belongs to human nature. It remains fundamentally different from the relationship of hsin and things that lies in Mou Tsung-san'works. To Mou Tsung-san, hsin is a transcendental one, which names li(principle) and ching(feeling) at the same time. So Mou Tsung-san excluded chi(ether) from hsin. On the other hand, it is true that kan-ying is a building that is really in all human beings as a nature construction. And I think this construction can reveal a true meaning of kan-ying as creation for us. The creation of kan-ying is totally different to the creation of intellectual intuition, which Mou Tsung-san emphasized. In this paper, I also devoted to interpreting "finality" from the viewpoint of kan-ying. As a consequence, finality can mean a play of finite and infinite. This is the inner possibility of all metaphysics, including moral metaphysics. Meanwhile, Mou Tsung-san built the building of moral metaphysics upon one's jue(consciousness) merely.Finally, I am putting emphasis upon the tensional equilibrium, which belongs to indifferent equilibrium, between natural order and moral order. In this way, I want to "free"(Critique of Pure Reason, A66, B91, p.38.) philosophy from the morality.
