The paper aims to discuss Guo Xiang’s concept of change with "nature" as the entry point.Chapter one places the emphasis on the discussion of Guo Xiang’s concept of "nature". In this chapter, the author regards "nature" as the basis of change and discusses its origin, meaning, state of existence, means of realization and completion status.Chapter two mainly discusses the possibility of being or nonbeing and change. It analyses the meaning of being and nonbeing at the beginning. Then it explains that Guo Xiang’s change is realized through the transformation of being and nonbeing and points out that nature itself has contained the unification of being and nonbeing. The second and forth sections mainly analyze that nature explains the change of the world and language by means of "from being to nonbeing".The third chapter begins with Guo Xiang’s concept of Qi Wu (equity of things) and points out that Qi Wu is the field of vision that observes change from the view of the universe. The first section mainly discusses the change of the universe and points out that it’s the change of nature and presents the decomposition to the concept of time. The second section further discusses human beings on the basis of the universe and points out the non-particularity of the existence of human beings in the whole change of the nature and the other possibilities of its existence. The third and fourth parts respectively discuss two meanings of Qi Wu and discuss the difference of nature and the way to treat the difference from the view of the universe and the view of human being toward the universe. The fifth section echoes the spiritual freedom in chapter two and points out that spiritual freedom and Qi Wu are the change of view.Chapter four mainly discusses Guo Xiang’s political thoughts. The first section begins with the mode pattern of an ideal society and distinguishes saints and average persons. The second chapter puts the emphasis on the issue of "trail" and "trace" and discusses real saints and their merits and achievements.
