Ge Hong's Political Thought

Taoist Ge Hong as one of the important people in history, his book is very rich, represented as "Bao Pu" Inner and Outer. Articles on the inside and outside the difference between articles, as Ge Hong said, the articles for the Taoist writings, outside the articles of Confucian writings. Starting this conclusion, and later study of thought, religious thought or study, or starting from the outside papers, study of Confucianism, the formation of the binary nature of the research trend.If we carefully read the writings of Ge Hong, reflected in political philosophy, his thought from the sum terms of consistency, but in different stages of his life have a different focus.Starting from the individual's role, as the Taoist Ge Hong on the "Road" in the sense of belief in its more fundamental, core, and its on Confucianism, the law is to explore the core premise. From the Governance level, its "Road Governance" thinking is dominant, "Rites", "Law" Thought has from the properties, with age and "Tao government" leading more enhanced.This is the Tao of Government to discuss these three in order to make a clear hierarchy has adopted a general form of discourse structure, first three chapters for the points after two chapters of the total. The first chapter discusses the thinking of the Tao Ge Hong, a China proposed the "Governing by" category of the first people, including articles, he was on "Governing by" had a multi-interpretation, and the "inaction" as the optimal government strategy. The second chapter focuses on the Ge Hong's "Rites" thinking, the main function of levels of governance from the ceremony to parse. In order to adapt to social development, Ge Hong's emphasis on ceremony to be loss. Compared with Confucius, Li Ge Hong require more profound changes, not only from a political point of view, but also to the economic perspective, which is more advanced. The third chapter discusses the rule of law Gehong thought. Compared with the modern connotation of the rule of law, legal thought focuses more on Ge Hong's leading monarchs, but the rule of law can be implemented to ensure the rule of man.The fourth chapter is a summary of the first three chapters, focuses on the three Ge Hong Tao of Government has reasonable. If middle-aged as the boundary Ge Hong, Ge Hong's thought pattern of pre-rendered the road outside the state of Confucianism, the latter because of disappointment with the community, thinking within the channel showing the state of heretics body with Fuji. The final chapter discusses the Taoist Ge Hong Tao of Government in the use of management, to show the inclusiveness of Taoist thought.On the whole word, this paper focuses on the reproduction of Ge Hong Tao of Government and the comb, less critical approach taken. If yes, Ge Hong age of live history dating back more than 1700, when I won the newly published work of Ge Hong, the vicissitudes of the heart can not tell how the book is new, the spirit of the book has over thousands of set, presented to us. When we try to dialogue with the ancients, the ancients exchange, which is in itself is a great historical process. I have just to its ideological resonance, on the criticism made against me, it seems too far away.
