On Lu Zuqian's Thought Of Yi-ology

Lu Zuqian was well-known in the world because of his studies of History, Confucian classics, Neo-Confucianism and was also well-known as one of the Three Neo-Confucianists in Southeast China (Zhu Xi, Zhang Shi and Lu Zuqian). He wrote many books and accomplished significantly about Yi-ology. He wrote ancient Zhou Yi, Dong lai yi shuo, Gu yi yin xun, Zhou yi xi ci jing yi, which cnstituted a self-contained ideological system about Yi-ology.Lu Zuqian took an important academic position in the Chinese Yi-ology history, however, The academic circles were not interested in him since the Southern Song Dynasty. The present state is quite weak on Lii ZuQian's thougnts of Yi-ology in today's mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan. In the view of which, I expect to systematically and thoroughly research Lii ZuQian's thougnts of Yi-ology from the following four parts:PartⅠ, Lu Zuqian had an academic grace of "calm and reasonable, not clannish", organized and chaired the E-Hu-Temple Debate, which was a grand academic conference. Lu Zuqian's clan had the origin of family learning culture of "Number of teachers" and "Number of theories" and the reputation of "handing down central-China documentation on its own".PartⅡ, "Yi went through ancient times, mediaeval times and age of recent antiquity", The formation of the version form of Zhou Yi, both Jing and Zhuan, had a historical process. Jing and Zhuan also had a unity and departure process during the course of the later spread. Lu Zuqian's ancient Zhou Yi was one of the most important and mature work among ancient Zhou Yi in Song dynasty. And it best brought back ancient Zhou Yi's original appearance. It not only reflected that Confucian in the Song Dynasty expected to get rid of the abuse of Han and Tang Commentary Studies and Exegesis and recur to restoration in order to seek emancipation, but also determined the developing route of the image-numberology and philosophical connotations Yi-ology. And what is more, Lii Zuqian's ancient Zhou Yi provided a strong support in the version for those.PartⅢ, Lu Zuqian's determinate style about the sixty-four hexagrams and the feature about explaining Zhou Yi. ⅰ.On the base of "Gua shi", Lu Zuqian proposed the determinate style about the sixty-four hexagrams of'Sui bu huan xing". Lu Zuqian inherited Cheng Yi's "Qu xiang gua bian" with texts and pictures.ⅱ. Lu Zuqian's feature about explaining Zhou Yi including the following four aspects:Firstly, Lii Zuqian inherited Cheng Yi's philosophy proposition of "Li yi fen shu", explained Zhou Yi in the perspective of Li xue, constructed a picture of the world under the perspective of philosophical connotations Yi-ology.Secondly, Lu Zuqian explained Zhou Yi in the perspective of Xin xue, constructed and proved a picture of the world, all of this is the natural revelation of the metaphysical "Original Mind". In addition, Lu Zuqian proved his view on divination through pro and con two aspects in the perspective of Xin.Thirdly, In the context of the times of internal and external problems, Lii ZuQian illustrated with historical facts, Which was using the past to disparage the present. This had a profound effect.Finally, "do useful learning", This was Lii ZuQian's battle cry. All of these were prominently shown in his Yi shuo, in which Lu ZuQian illustrated a series of political, economic, military strategy. At last, all of these were fallen on "Humanistic Pragmatism".
