"Sensing of Heaven and Man" is the core of Dong Zhongshu's ideological system.Dong Zhongshu's "Sensing of Heaven and Man" refers to dealing with the relationship between "sky" and "people" through the theoretical premise of similar feelings.Unlike the pre-Qin period who simply solved the relationship between heaven and man through theoretical construction and empty imagination,Dong Zhongshu used the qi of Yin and Yang to construct a large-scale popularization of "qi" as the body and the framework of the five behaviors of yin and yang.The cosmic schema of the world,through the method of imagination,analogy and comparison,dealt with the relationship between heaven and man,and combined the yin and yang,the five elements with the astronomy and medical knowledge at that time,which strengthened the credibility of this theory on the practical level.After completing this structure,he began to apply this theoretical framework to fully integrate Confucian ethical principles and humanism into this framework,making Confucianism not only have a basis at the level of heaven,but also at the level of humanity.The greater operability and the connection with politics have made Confucianism begin to be in the "unique" position in the Han ideology and culture,laying the foundation for the feudal culture of China for more than two thousand years.This article is divided into three parts to study Dong Zhongshu's idea of "induction between heaven and man" :The first chapter is Dong Zhongshu's Qi theory,combing the Qi theory from the pre-Qin to the early Han Dynasty,which shows that Dong Zhongshu's Qi theory is based on inheriting the pre-popular thought theory and has been innovative.Dong Zhongshu inherited the yin and yang thought of the five elements of the yin and yang family,and constructed a popular cosmology system with the yin and yang five behavior frame and full of vitality.The second chapter is Dong Zhongshu's Qi theory and the idea of "the induction of heaven and humanity",first of all,it explains the three characters of heaven with divinity,nature,and morality.The positioning of people in "the induction of heaven and humanity" mainly refers to King;Secondly,Dong Zhongshu explained the possibility of induction of "tian" and "human" through the three-stage argument of "the same kind of human beings","the same kind of movement",the metaphor of "water often escaping fish",and the metaphor of "naoshui";finallypointed out The performance of "induction between man and nature" lies in the disaster.The third chapter is the application of Dong Zhongshu's "induction between heaven and man" on the practical level,that is,Dong Zhongshu's purpose is to use heaven and earth as the basis of humanity,to establish a human order based on the three outlines and five constants for humanity,and to think for the "Great Unity" of the Han Dynasty.
