Abstract/Summary:
This paper is based on the study of the thoughts of Zhang Zai.Zhang is a famous neo-confucianist in the northern Song dynasty,and the Song Confucianism had played an important role in the history of Confucianism in China.Confucianism is also called human learning or principle,and it is the moral theory that focuses on the relationship between people.In the history of Confucianism,Zhang is well-known for two points.One is his theory of Qi.Secondly,Feng Youlan named it "the four sentences of the horizontal canal","for the heart of heaven and earth,for the survival of the people,for the past,for the rest of the world,for the peace of the world".The first two sentences represent the unremitting pursuit of Confucian scholars--the unity of nature and man,and the third sentence reflects the social and cultural environment of the time.With the popularity of the Buddha road,Confucianism lost the glory of pre-qin.By Zhang zai,vigorous efforts to turn the tide,his thought from Confucius,Confucianism to focus on the cosmology of transferred to abstains from the Han to Tang dynastie period,and established the perfect ontological ideological system,realized the "nature and the phase," heaven,compete the FoLao impact on Confucianism.This paper intends to re-establish the structure of the relationship between Zhang and TianRen from the perspective of Zhang’s theory of principle.Based on the thought characteristics of Confucianism,I puts Zhang’s theory of principle in the development history of Confucianism,and highlights the historical inheritance of his thought and the innovative development of Zhang’s individual.At the same time,based on Zhang’s complete human relation structure,I connects principle and Zhang’s tiandaoism with the theory of mind,and establishes the principle theory system of Zhang’s thought.In order to reflect the line of Confucianism,at the same time want to illustrate ZhangZai’s thought is the Confucian orthodoxy,this article will be involved in the system of ZhangZai principle of gas,such as heart,nature,the kernel core concepts from the pre-qin to the ideas of the song dynasty respectively do vein combing,and the system of Confucian principle and mencius system a key statements,convenient comparison with Zhang thought system.As the pioneer of Confucianism,Confucius has had a profound impact on the thoughts of the later Confucianism,but because it is the source of development of Confucianism,so many opinions do not get effective play,also did not form a clear structure.Based on this,this article from three aspects of the system of Confucian principle,respectively is the cause of "principle",heart kernel relationship with "principle,with the three aspects,the structure of Confucius principle.After Confucius,Confucianism was divided into eight,among which mencius was the most influential.The greatest contribution of mencius is to lead the heart into principle,to find the foundation of principle,to clarify the theory of natureual goodness,to provide the method of cultivation,and to establish a perfect psychological system.Mencius was the most influential thinker of the theory of song and Ming.Based on this,in the chapter of mencius principle structure,the author combines principle directly with mencius’ psychological theory,and interprets mencius’ principle from the perspective of mencius’ spirit.It was seen between mencius and Zhang Zai the representative of Confucianism in Han dynasty,Wei-jin metaphysics on behalf of Wang Chong,the tang dynasty and the Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan thinkers,although they also belong to the part of the Chinese Confucianism,but because of their ideology being had not perfect harmony development of the system,this article will only set out from their thoughts in a certain concept simple mention their ideological content,no longer single speeches.As a focus of Zhang Zai thoughts part,the author proposed from four aspects,fully displaying ZhangZai’s ideological system,respectively is the theory of "qi","nature",the theory of "heart" and "principle",it is of the internal logic,according to Zhang’s thought that gas,heart,nature,kernel ordered by four categories.According to the theory of the four sides,the ideological system of the man and man in Zhang’s life has been set up,and the original purpose of this paper has been realized: from the perspective of principle,it is necessary to clarify the ideological system of the unity of man and man.
