The research object of this article is Confucius’ s idea of "no device".I want to be extend beyond the literal interpretation. "No device" on the performance and the pursuit of a possibility for openness and ways of doing things, is "not biased towards the corner and can fit anywhere, all over the line of the road" and opposed to arrest in ossified single maxim to vague all-encompassing."No device" thought has three connotations.First,corresponds to the "use", the "no device" is for the government to use specialization and integration in a specific order for performance. Second,corresponds to the "ritual", "no device" demands us "Is more than device" that is done by the kernel into the ceremony; "have control", that is conscious Shurei; and "does not perform a ritual" that is based on scene Etiquette and objects timely conversion. Third, corresponds to the "Road" is concerned. "No device" tell us that we should not limited to noly our own and not limited to a time and place,and actively to face different variations."No device" thought mainly for the following three aspects: First,to make a training program according to differences of talent;second, to do the right thing according to life cycle;third,to make a decision according to the changes of scene-oriented local conditions. Only in this way, in order to comply with Confucius’ s smart of principles of life that is "no foregone conclusions, no arbitrary predeterminations, no obstinacy, and no egoism", and open attitude to life that is between "have it" and "not"."No device" thought claims relative and openness in order to pursuit the perfect state of moral. For Confucius, the act must be open in "Benevolence" overall architecture being possible. "No device" on the ever-contained there, everywhere relativity must be kept in "good" dimension of being, otherwise it would no longer holds.
