Dialectical Thought And Trisection Construction Of The Harmony Of East And West

The Harmony of East and West is one of the representative works of the Ming and Qing Dynasties thinker Fang Yizhi.It is rich in theory,unique in insights and profound in connotation.The dialectical thought in the book is especially fascinating,which has been concerned and studied by some scholars since it's launched.The book first discusses the concept of Jun(equilibrium)and makes an extension,the original meaning of Jun is a turntable for making pottery,then Fang puts it into the abstract of the unity coordinated with two contrary aspects.The principle of Jun is universal,but people hold different opinions on it,thus developing into diverse doctrines about Jun in history.Fang claims to make Jun for people under entrust of Lun Zun(god),naming as Quan Jun(all equilibrium),which expresses his strong desire to establish a unified academic order.Jun is metaphysical,but it has performance or specific content in the world,that is San Zheng(there characterizations).It contains Sui(with),Min(obliterate),Tong(unification)and Jiao(interact),Lun(rotate),Ji(omen),which represents Fang's knowledge of external world and subject cognition.Sui,Min and Tong represent three ways to understand the world.Jiao,Lun and Ji reflect the spatial and temporal connection,as well as their internal subtle change.They all represent Fang's knowledge of world's connection,movement,change,development,etc.Intuitively,San Zheng can be visualized as ?,which is made up of three black spots.All mysteries of universe hide in the interdependence and interaction of the three spots.Concretely applied to nature,society,cognition and practice,San Zheng can effectively solve many seemingly contradictory issues.The theoretical basis is Gong Yin and Fan Yin(extraordinary and opposite connection)epurated from San Zheng.Relying on this never being elucidated theory,Fang discusses all kinds of opposition,disputes,confusion,confusion and other issues in social and ideology at that time in detail,and puts forward new concepts,ideas and methods with his consistent transcendental stand.One of the most effective method is to Jin Xin,which means keeping aware of the existence of Gong Yin consciously.The theoretical interpretation of The Harmony of East and West cannot be separated from trichotomous characteristic,it constructed an ideological system of trichotomy,and it makes Chinese traditional dialectical philosophy into a new realm.
