Wang Chong is the Eastern Han Dynasty eminent philosophers and thinkers. He relied on his talent and tireless efforts, read, absorb Gejia words, become a learned scholar and author of "The Chief", "Ji vulgar righteousness", "raising" of, "Lun Heng," four books, the former three have been Wang Yi, spread to the present only the "Lun Heng," a concentrated reflection of Wang Chong's philosophy. This work focused on criticism of a self-Tung Chung-shu's Heaven induction theological teleology and theology, prophecy, as well as a variety of secular society prevalent superstitions. Wang Chong to the natural theory of strength based on that chosen by heaven and earth strength generated, demonstrating the objective reality of the day, denying the will of days there is a personal God, Heaven certainly doing nothing, everything is self-established a simple materialist system of thought.Wang Chong, "Lun Heng," on the nature of life there is rich discussion of the ethical implication. Its philosophy is based on the natural theory of strength. Wang Chong chosen by heaven and earth strength that is generated, the negative personal days is the will of God, Heaven certainly doing nothing, everything from health to establish a simple materialist system of thought. Wang Chong's departure from the view of nature inherited the Taoist gas theory, combines the pre-Qin philosophers 100 years of gas theory, and using that time astronomy, biology, medicine, and the results of the natural sciences to build a more complete theory of natural vitality. Wang Chong's vitality with the materialist view of nature as the theoretical basis and draw on Confucian theory of human nature and destiny theory to explain social phenomena, saying that "nature is nature, good and evil there is quality", "Of course, when the fate naturally" to forge a realistic, the complex nature of life concept.Wang Chong, "Lun Heng" in a comprehensive analysis of the major pre-Qin thinkers since the discussion of human nature, we think that the views of Mencius, human nature is good people, Gaozi human point of view no good without evil, evil human nature Xunzi's point of view of people will be biased; Lu Jia, Dong Zhong-shu , Liu affairs of other people's point of view of human nature is not correct, only the world Shuo, Gongsun Amago and others from good to evil human nature point of view, "drew much of its being." Wang Chong inherited from good to evil before the human point of view, and on this basis, innovation, and that mankind is inherently good and evil is intrinsic strength of the decision of how much Ottawa parked, but human nature is not static, can be acquired through education, the environment of nurture individual self-cultivation to human nature by the malignant good.Wang Chong, "Lun Heng," by people affected by the intrinsic vitality and "sex", extended to people the intrinsic vitality and by "fate", also for the vitality of nature philosophy based on the idea put forward determinism. Wang Chong of "fate" is divided into country life and human lives, human lives and to obey the country life, which has its own rationality. He is further divided into the life and death Shouyao of life and the life of equal status between rich and poor that life and death Shouyao the physiological constitution by the people, as well as after birth is determined by chance encounter, but was ordered by the people of equal status between rich and poor birth Intrinsic time is determined by the strength thickness. As Wang Chong failed to recognize people's natural attributes and social attributes, as well as by the social awareness of environmental constraints at that time, so there is determinism of its negative impact. Therefore, the study "Lun Heng," determinism ethical thinking and its negative impact, you can expose all kinds of superstitious activities in contemporary society the theoretical basis so that people establish a correct outlook on life. Meanwhile, Wang Chong's life on the rational elements of the lessons will help in the socialist modernization drive in the process of helping people to establish the correct fate of the concept, and to advocate for the spirit of patriotism to determine the lofty ideals, Tatsumi pay the price, in order to build a socialist harmonious the social efforts.
