The Three Manifestations And Directions Of The Ancient Chinese Cosmology

The relationship between heaven and man in ancient China has two dimensions: one is that heaven and man belong to two different fields,heaven is transcendent in the field,and man belongs to the secular field of experience.Heaven are infinite and perfect,Man are limited.The other is the general understanding of the natural thing,that nature and the human world entities,processes and relationships between the existence of a corresponding or matching relationship.The latter is called correlation cosmology.Relevance cosmology has three characteristics: First,the relative day is no longer beyond,mysterious,unspeakable,but there are specific content,that is,a fixed rhythm and format;Not belong to two heterogeneous,separate areas,they are not in the "vertical axis" on the correlation,but in the "horizontal axis" of the relationship associated with each other;Third,due to the contents of the day Is specific,between people and days with a certain relationship between,then people no doubt have some way to fully grasp the possibility of heaven and earth.Based on these characteristics,the ancient Chinese correlation of cosmology can be divided into three types: First,the static analogy between man and heaven and earth.There is a certain relationship between natural and human beings in this type,although this kind of matching relationship can be embodied in the entity,even in the process,there are diversity and multi-level,but this diversity and Multi-level but the decomposition or classification of specific things,not off the static experience of the barriers.This coherence cosmology often leads to moral,ethical and political fields.Second,the dynamic of Heaven and the adaptation of Heaven to Heaven.This type,whether it is talk or talk,are not static point,line,surface correspondence,but often with the five lines of cadres as a framework,people and heaven and earth into a dynamic corresponding to the process of understanding to understand.The ultimate point of this type is no longer moral,ethical,political,but natural life itself.Third,the relationship between man and heaven transcendence.This type of recognition of the natural world and people and human society there is a link between,but the basis of this relationship does not come from these two things themselves,but from the transcendence of these two kinds of things more subtle existence.In other words,all things in heaven and earth and people are the same kind of origin of the existence of the evolution of thingsin nature and people because of this kind of commonality and get associated.These three kinds of related cosmological models are not isolated from each other,and there is some inherent logic of development between them.The static analogy model is the basic form of the correlation cosmology,and the cloud is static,but because of the participation of the theory of yin and yang,this model actually contains the dynamic budding.This concept,although the concept of yin and yang,although the five show the dynamic,in the "huang di nei jing " Wu yun liu qi that has been fully reflected.Wu yun liu qi that the world gasification in a dynamic form to show,but this dynamic model has been preset the ideal state and the reality of the state,in a sense,there has been a tendency to double the world.This dual type of typical form,is the world and all things beyond the same.Which can be seen between the three forms of logic between the development process.
