Xunzi on the interpretation of the relationship between temperament, is a focus of academic discussion. Especially in the newly unearthed documents Guodian Jane Slips available, Brief text information on the nature thinking, although the levels of different nature, but also thought of Xunzi provides Theoretical aspects of school echo. Xun Zi both temperament that is unique for the human nature of innovations, but also on the previous issue of the succession debate the development of Confucianism. This paper on the ideological nature Xunzi depth and systematic analysis, to better grasp the Xunzi system..This article discusses the three parts respectively on Xun Zi's temperament. The first part is"Heaven and Human"thinking, which is based on the philosophical nature Xunzi.Xunzi believes that day is an objective nature, man is also an objective nature, so is natural human nature. Heaven has different rules, people should be in the"reference world"basis to achieve the ideal state of harmony between people. The second part elaborates the concept of"xing"and"qing". Xunzi put forward the unique evil nature of humans, he demonstrates that the definition should belong to two different levels .Pre academic"qing"is limited to general understanding, but Xunzi holds a different opinion. Xun Zi insists that"qing"by the discourse can be seen and"qing"has not only become the human nature with a concept of reciprocity, but also a moral value. Situation here in the Xunzi achieved a major breakthrough, but also played a very important role, the situation not only bears the human evil nature of the flow, but also conceals the"shan"factors which the Confucian tradition of"propriety"of the perceptions source of ideas for the resistance from the pseudo-foreshadowing the necessary conditions. Xun Zi also highlightened the same time,"yu"in the thinking of the role of temperament, that"yu"is subject to days, is inevitable, as if there will be compromise for the disputes. The third part is the perfect temperament for the disposition of non-United States, Xunzi believes that"hua xing qi wei".Ritual Enlightenment norms with the external nature of people, while themselves with the"zhi","neng"the natural material to"cognitive mind"as to accept the importance of propriety and justice the inherent potential of enlightenment, the successful completion of"hua xing qi wei"of the process.Mencius Xunzi ,from the Goodness of Nature for the proposed move towards the resistance of evil human nature from false, paves the way for the advocates of Ritual educate the foundation. He also created a good social ethics and a moral saint of road. Xunzi assumed that human nature is evil and did not discuss the possibility of good, then"human nature is evil,"this argument has no positive meaning. We believe that the person he made the center of Evil proposition should be"hua xing qi wei","li yi jiao hua".Xunzi thought unique temperament has its historical background. The late Spring and Autumn, social unrest, prompted various thoughts on integration. His study based on the ideas of Confucius, in order to meet the needs of society at that time, his extensive research and criticism absorb the essence of various theories, a science of the summary Hundred Schools of Thought who did the creation for the development of Confucianism. Xunzi on Human Problems While Confucius, Mencius, the path is different, but still followed the Confucian way for the love attention, discourse still reflects the real world of great concern, although from the situation, the feelings of desire and other aspects of human nature have shown a strong speculative characteristic.
