Study On "Zhonghe" Ideas Of Zhou Dunyi

As the founder of Neo-Confucionism,Zhou Dunyi's "Zhonghe" thought has a profound origin.First of all,the development history of "Zhonghe" thought is undoubtedly the indirect source of Zhou Dunyi's "Zhonghe" thought.Since the "Zhong" and "He" meaning generation,from the "book of history" to Confucius,"Zhonghe" is mainly represented from "Zhong" to "He".Until Zi Si,from the perspective of emotion to define "Zhong" and "He",and for the first time "Zhong" and "He" connected as a phrase,that people's spiritual realm,had a significant impact on future generations.Secondly,in Zhou Dunyi,"Zhongzheng" means "Zhonghe",and "Zhong" means moving among force and soft."He" takes the meaning of "mid" and "Da Dao",and "Zhonghe" is a realm.The realm of "Zhonghe" is the realm of "sincerity",and "Zhongzheng" embodies the doctrine of the mean.All these indicate that Zhou Dunyi's "Zhonghe" thought is directly attached to the idea of "Zhonghe" in The book of changes and The doctrine of mean.In Zhou Dunyi,"Zhonghe" has rich and unique connotations.According to Zhou Dunyi,"Neutralization" is the noumenon,that is,the noumenon of "sincerity"."Zhonghe" is the realm of the saints,and the realm of "Zhonghe" is the realm of sincerity."Zhonghe" also has different levels of meaning,namely: ontology level,human nature level,self-cultivation level,cognitive level.These different levels of meaning also constitute "Zhonghe" connotation,specifically: Harmony of Yin and Yang;move among force and soft;nature;comprehensively and objectively grasp the rules and principles of truth of life or external things."Zhonghe" is both noumenon and spiritual realm,so naturally there are "Zhonghe" obstacles and the problems of realization of "Zhonghe".Zhou Dunyi think,"Zhonghe" obstacles were "evil move","do not know mistakes","selfish desire",the way to achieve "Zhonghe" were "establish inner sincerity","no desire to stay the main static," "respect for teachers," " diligent thinking".There is no doubt that Zhou Dunyi's "Zhonghe" thought has an important influence on future generations.Including Cheng Yi who has a mentoring relationship with Zhou Dunyi,Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming who both admired the thoughts of Zhou,Their "Zhonghe" thought has been influenced to a certain extent by Zhou Dunyi's "Zhonghe".The main influences are as follows: Zhou Dunyi's theory of "He" and "Zhong" would change "Zhong" and "He" into "double Zhong",and the result is Cheng and Zhu Xi's theory that "Zhong" has the theory of "two meanings".In addition,Cheng Yi also noticed the practice of "Zhonghe",and Zhu Xi expounded the "Zhong" and "He" from the perspective of temperament.Different from the negative approach of Zhou Dunyi's "Zhong",Wang Yangming embodies the positive approach with "conscience" as "Zhong",and pays attention to explain "Zhong" and "He" through the whole of "Zhong" and "He".
