Chinese traditional culture in the axial age of human civilization appeared in a booming and flourishing, showing an active state. According to the records and division of "Han · History", a total of ten pre-Qin philosophers, including far-reaching groups of Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, Mohist and Naturalists. Although their theoretical system is different, but not entirely unconnected isolation.The connection is the book "Zhouyi". Such as Confucius learned Yi-ology hardly, Chuang summaried "Tao is Yin-Yang" and Huang-Lao Xing Ming established a mixing system. Until the Han Dynasty, official theory had been established and Confucianism ranked the first. "Zhouyi" had also been listed as the head of the Five Classics, playing a guiding role in all aspects of Chinese culture. Yi-ology experienced various forms. After Confucius transferred Yi-ology from divine to philosophy, there were Han-Yi-ology, Weijin-Yi-ology and Song-Yi-ology. In the Qing-dynasty, all of the forms had been developed and then the western culture was brought into China. Chinese traditional culture was fused with foreign culture, and now this trend is still going. That is to say, the traditional Yi-ology must be explained at a new point of view.This article interprets an objective and reasonable Yi-ology from the perspective Yi-ology view of nature. Since it is a re-finishing of Yi-ology, we need to introduce the traditional Yi-ology to extrude the difference between the tradition and Yi-ology view of nature. With the changing of times, cultural background takes great changes. Yi-ology is ancient knowledge, and should be interpreted with the new things in nowadays. Through the comparison against several newly developing theories, the convenient and rationality of the Yi-ology view of nature have been highlighted. And in view of this, a system of Tao will be established. The concern concept of Yi-pology is Yi, or named Tao, which is a description about the universal law of the universe. It can be said that Yi-ology is the Chinese traditional thought the world, methodology and view of value, which includes human beings and the nature. That is similar to scientific knowledge about the universal law, and both of them are systematic and formalized.In this paper, the concept of Tao is been described according to a logic method. That is the first from the smallest point of view, and then bigger, at the end all of the universe. At first the basic constitutive factors of Tao are analyzed, reflecting the essential characteristics of Chuang Tzu said, "Yi is Yin-Yang". Tao is holistic concept, which is the combined effect of the yin and yang together. The analysis on the characteristics of the interaction between the law is equal to the analysis on Tao. Tao is the performance form of Yin-Yang. Tao is a concept of entity, and its function is De. Tao and De build a common system. Each of them could not be isolated. The content of De is the Five-De. That is an ethic concept. Although Yi-ology is a relative independent theory, als a particular part of Chinese traditional culture it is interrelated to other theories especially Confucianism. The Five-De theory belongs to both Yi-ology and Confucianism.Tao is made up of Yin-Yang, and we can inference that, the Five-De is the performance of Yin-Yang. In other words, the regular of Yin-Yang is the content of the Five-De. Tao contains all substances in the universe, and the smallest structure of all substances should also be Yin-Yang. In this paper, the same structure will be proved. Detail is that, internal part is Yang and external part is Yin. This conclusion has been confirmed by several facts. The interaction between Yin and Yang could be describes as some numbers. They are one, two, three, four and five. Every number has its specific content. They represent the logical process of the emergence of substances. And we could also use a simple structure or a simple number to summarize this logical process, that is the Three-Factor-Structure.The Eight Trigrams is the basic unit of the universe. It contains the general law of substances and the relationship between them, especially it is the concrete performance of Tao and De. At the end of this paper, the eight trigrams, Hetu and Luoshu will be described. The aim is to highlight the scientific content of them and then the system of Tao is built integrally.Yi and Tao have a wide content. This paper establishes the system of it systematically and timely. At the point of both traditional view and present view, the ancient theory Yi-ology expresses its objectivity and rationality. This thinking way is fit to the regular of the development of Yi-ology.
