A Study Of Zhou Dunyi 's Thought Of "Liren"

Zhou Dunyi’s who was regarded as the neo-confucianism master by Confucian scholars was a important thinker in Song and Ming dynasties, whose main philosophical works included Tai ji Diagram and Book of Tung. Lao Si made comment on Zhou Dunyi’s theory, he said, in terms of Confucianism source, Lian Xi’s theory represented the earliest system of Confucian theory, which based on The Doctrine of the Mean and Yi Zhuan, and this group had extremely forces in Song Confucianism. Although Brothers and Zhu Xi all unlike Zhou in the inner system, in the general direction, they were all affected by the idea of the Lian Xi’s except the group of LuWang. But in terms of enlightening, Zhou’s thought really open a way, and he was well-deserved. We can learn that, Zhou dunyi’s theory is closely linked with The Doctrine of the Mean and Yi Zhuan, and that he was called neo-confucianism guru can be determined. But many senior scholars said, the Song Ming and many Confusim although nominally were after Confucius and Mencius, and their theory on the basis of sutras still was not Analects and Mencius, but Yi Zhuan and Rites. Then we can understand from another angle,that is Song Ming and many Confusim must have read the Analects and Mencius, and they explain Confucianism by Confusim,at the same time the Analects and Mencius are regared as the academic context of their theory.The topic of this article is the study of Zhou Dunyi’s "made people", and the word "people" is showed Confucian positive value orientation of going in to the society, surely, its academic context is also Confucian. Article also involves some core concepts in Taoism, and the purpose is to use better category of Confucian itself to interpret the thoughts of Zhou Dunyi’s, and make this paper have more solid theoretical basis. The structure of this paper is as follows:the introduction, the first chapter is theoretical basis, the second chapter is about cultivation of kungfu, the third chapter is on delightfulness of Kong-yan, that is a end.The introduction part narrative the general situation of the research on Zhou Dunyi, as well as the theoretical basis and value of this article. In this paper, a brief introduction has always been the study of Zhou Dunyi, the author find out the place that hasn’t been studied or insufficient, at the same time make the further discussion, finally we can abstractly better inherited Zhou Dunyi’s thought. The first chapter explores the theoretical basis of the person. This part shows what is a best person, what is its roots and context, and what is the basis of pole. By "benevolence" explain" the infinite "and "static", and the basic category of Confucian internal is used to explain Zhou Dunyi’s Confucianism. Through the discriminate on" the infinite "and "tai chi", we can clear the same fundamental characteristics for"tai chi","sage","people" is the "honesty". So then we draw people’s nature of goodness and the conclusion on how "people" to set up and becomes a "saint" and that because human nature is good.The second chapter explores how to set up "people", namely Gong Fu theory, which is divided into inner and external. Inner work is " Pension heart ", that is to rebuild people’s nature of neutralization. The author said "rebuild" the reason is the nature of neutralization is heaven-born. Outside of work is to learn, think and do. By the inside and outside repair, one person can fuse both inside and outside, and set up "people", and realize Inner Sageliness and Outer Kingliness.The third chapter is the state after "people" is set up, namely, delightfulness of Kong-yan. How to reach the harmony of people’s heart", the first thing is to change temperament and rebuild nature of neutralization."The harmony of the universe", namely "tai", that is the extrapolation of the unity of inside and outside of oneself, namely the unity of oneself inside and outside and the unity of man and society, and the so-called world harmony. For public and the end, the part emphasized justice to oneself, justice to other’s, justice to heaven, justice to being and death. After that we just can have real delightfulness of Kong-yan, and which is benevolence, is the unity of oneself inside and outside and the unity of man and nature, finally that is the "Harmonices Mundi".The last part focuses on description the status and influence of Zhou Dunyi’s thoughts in the academic history.
