A Study On The Theoretical Origin And Dissemination Of ZhuXi's Min Clture

This paper is divided into two parts with the former one elaborating on the theoretical origin of "the Min Clture of Zhu Xi" and the latter one on that Zhu Xi spreads his Teachings of Order by the way of education and inscribing books."the Min Clture of Zhu Xi" is closely related to "the Luo Clture of the of two CHENGs(CHENG Yi and CHENG Hao)". That philosophical thought of CHENG-ZHU in Song and Ming dynasties is usually called the SONG-MING Neo-Confucianism embodies that "Zhu Xi Min Clture", which succeeds "Luo Clture of the two Chengs", acts as the succession and development of the latter one. Moreover, Zhu Xi makes remarkable addition to the two Chengs' thoughts in respect of "the philosophical theory of spirt and matter", "the theory of Dao Qi", "the theory of Xing Li " and the thoughts of classics.Li Tong follows Luo Congyan who follows Yang Shi, the disciple of the two Chengs. Called "Three Scholars of Nanjian", Yang, Luo, and Li, as the successors of "the Luo Clture of the two Chengs", develop their theory into "Zhu Xi Min Clture" and play an important role in bridging the gap. The "Three Scholars of Nanjian" take "Experiencing things not started" as the tenet and devolute it, which is the so-called "the theory of Gui Shan Xin Fa" and "the theory of Dao Nan Zhi Jue". Zhu Xi develops the useful and discards the useless from the above theory, succeeds directly and develops "Cheng Yi's theory of acquiring knowledge by the way of seaching into the priciples of matter", and replaces "Experiencing things not started" with the theory of it.Zhu Xi spreads his teaching of order in the way of college education. He puts up new concept of the teaching purpose, methods, contents, etc, and discriminates against the imperial examinations, which embodies the features of Teachings of Order broadcasted by college education. Zhu Xi also takes lecture saloon and sacrifices as new ways. What he does also promotes the development of college education.Zhu Xi attaches great importance to inscribing books which in his opinion is a good way to spread his theory. Zhu Xi's books feature careful proof and inscription as well as the collection of the predecessors. Because Zhu Xi inscribes books when he takes office outside, the books are fluid, which enlarges the range of broadcasting. The inscribed books promote the disciples' inscription, extend the profound influence, and advance the quality of Fujian culture.
