Xiongshili is a great philosopher in modern China. He has extraordinary wisdom, and sharp insight. Although he holds aloof from the world not to struggle for fame and benefit, he has always concerned the ordinary people. As a modern Confucian, he has viewed it as the task of his whole life that he should succeed the Chinese culture. So he tries his best to do it, and he thinks himself that it is an exceedingly important way to rescue Chinese culture to build a philosophy which inherits traditional Confucian.Then he uses his whole life to build a creative philosophy, and he becomes the second philosopher, who rescues and rebuild Chinese culture ,specially Confucian , after Liangshuming, another Confucian in the modern time.Xiongshili ' philosophy is meaningful because not only it is a new and successful philosophy all in all for Chinese academic class, but also it has effected on many young scholars and gives them a good example to rebuild our own philosophy in Chinese philosophic history.Xiongshili ' philosophy includes philosophic thinking and life's feeling. In view of his theory resource, he absorbs traditional Confucian idea, specially Wangxue which is a very important philosophic school in Neo-Confucian; criticizes and changes Buddhism, specially Consciousness-only ; and uses the method which separates the world to Noumenon and Phenomenon in western philosophy to build his philosophy . According to these works, his philosophy is set up. In term of his philosophy content, he thinks that cosmos and human life are not two things but only one, of course this idea only using among philosophy, or ontology but not among epistemology and knowledge; so under this hypothesis, he puts forward his own philosophic core -Tiyongism : the whole world can be separated two parts in our talk: one is essence ,and another is phenomenon .But both of them are only one in fact and can't be separated .If the essence will show the whole world ,it only needs use it's own power ?Xi and Pi to create ,and it only uses this method to show itself too, but we should know theessence is not God and Material but a power which exists in everyone's Heart and we can recognize it according to our instinctive nature. At the same time, he favors the concept of Heart in Confucian to change the concept of Consciousness, and thinks that the Consciousness can't include the meanings of ontology, and it should be contained by Heart which has the meanings of ontology only in his theory ,then it merely possesses the function which is from the essence or Heart. From it ,that is the function ,we can recognize the world and receive knowledge ,however, the knowledge can't become the knowledge which can go up to the Heart and it merely belongs to the empiricism. If we want to inspire the Heart, the way we must go is practice named Gongfu by Xiongshili. Gongfuism includes two factors :preserve your nature, and spread the Heart which is in yours to popularize.According to these creation , Xiongshili's philosophy reflects his original creative deeply.This article's purpose is to try the best to emerge Xiongshili's philosophic thinkings from all of aspects in order to discover his creative and original ,creative thinking though descriptive analysis.
