The Study On The Theory Of Chen Chun's Neo-Confucianism

Chen Chun, who was a good apprentice of Zhu Xi. Early, He was a tutorship to make a living in the countryside and had no fame. After he consulted to Zhu Xi for two times, he made great progress. Except for 50 volumes "Beixidaquanji" left, his teaching plan was put down in writing by his students and it was editted by them. it was also called " Pei-his-tzu-i " and spreaded widely at last.Chen Chun tried his best to explain the meaning of Neo-Confucianism to the students. He made his students understand easily and helped them to be progressive diligently. "Pei-his-tzu-i" in formal was to the meaning explanation and chose 25 Neo-Confucianism essential concepts accurately to explain it. The goal lied in the summary Neo-Confucian thought before Zhu Xi. "Pei-his-tzu-i" didn't speak the exegesis of ancient texts. The target of this book enhanced person's moral training. In fact ,it was the method that must teach practices moral training. After this book was completed, Chen Chun became the famous scholar. Chen Chun liked talking about harmony, he thought that thing of the harmony was oneness of Li and Qi. On the contrary, Zhu Xi thought Li in Qi first. Chen Chun didn't agree with him and opposed Zhu Xi's cosmogony. Chen Chun thought that the primal chaos was noumenon, it was eternal and universial to guarantees the normal use, oneness of substance and function. Advocating that the value noumenon didn't leave the human daily affairs.If we regarded his "Beixidaquanji " as foundation, looked on" Pei-his-tzu-i " as creed, Chen Chun's theory could be divided into three levels: These three levels are the nature,mind,ethics. Noumenon lied in these three levels. Three levels may use "substance and function" to analysis. Nature and mind is Li and Qi's convergence. Ethics was oneness of substance and function. From crosswise, destiny meant nature existence, the emotion meant mind existence, ethics meant the third level existence. From longitudinal was, the destiny transformed as mind's noumenon, mind combined nature with emotion, mind was master of body, it was harmonious combination nature of mind. Benevolence and justice were internal. Human's practice would become into regarding the sentiment as the foundation more reasonable. These three levels was connected together, Chen Chun thought that ethics was finally deoxidized to nature.Chen Chun devoted the dissemination which studies in Zhuzi, but its academic also slightly had the difference with Zhu Xi. His thought had the certain extent mind-and-heart learning tendency, his academic key point would place the explanation of Confucianism noumenon. Attempting to take back the Zhu Xi Neo-Confucianism external angle of view in.
