Research On The Relationship Between Zhang Zaitian Taoism And Buddhism

As one of the founders of Taoism in the Northern Song Dynasty,Zhang Zai's philosophical thought has always been valued by researchers of later generations.Among them,the theory of Heaven and Taoism is an important part of Zhang Zai's entire philosophy system.The construction of Zhang Zai's Tian Dao theory was accomplished through accessing the Buddha and returning to the Six Scriptures.Therefore,Zhang Zai's view of the heavenly Taoism is closely related to his attitude towards Buddhism.This article mainly develops from the intrinsic relationship between the concept of Heaven and Taoism and Buddhism,and studies the philosophy of Zhang Zai.In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty,Zhang Zai was in a social and political background of internal and external problems.Determined to "make the world heaven and earth,life for life,for the holy extinction of learning,peace for all ages," the wish.This is not only the career of Zhang Zai's life,but also the general program of its thinking.Zhang Zai,on the one hand,indulged in constructing the Confucian system of philosophies in order to resist the old school of Buddhism.On the other hand,it tried hard to implement the Confucian system of rules and regulations,practice in the society,and promote the Confucian system as its mission.Under such an era background,Zhang Zai's criticism and absorption of Buddhism became an important ideological resource for him to construct the ontological body of the Confucian heaven.On the one hand,Zhang Zai's criticism of Buddhism mainly begins with "reincarnation" and "false claims".These theories involve the basic understanding of Buddhism cosmology and the theory of heaven.Therefore,the criticism of Buddhism by Zhang Zai mainly revolved around the development of the body of Heaven.Only in this way can he really reject Buddhism from the inner theory.On the other hand,the absorption of Buddhism is mainly embodied in the reference to the Buddhist noumenon awareness and the absorption of the body-use thinking structure.These ideas have effectively promoted Zhang Zai's reconstruction of Confucian heavenly bodies under the background of the rise of Neo-Confucianism and are here.On the basis of powerful criticism,criticize the Buddha.Under the perspective of the integration of Confucianism and Taoism,to re-understand the core proposition of "Taiji is Qi" of Zhang Zai's Taoist conception,Zhang Zai will use Buddhism theory to transform and promote Confucian philosophy.The speculation of Buddhism ontology is very popular in Zhang Zai's cosmology.Obvious manifestation.Although in his writings more of his criticism of the Buddha,in the course of this criticism,Zhang Zai absorbed the advantages of the two sides and deliberately avoided the mistakes of the two,thus taking a position as a pure Confucian.An ambitious and perfect Confucian metaphysical cosmological system was established.Therefore,Zhang Zai's philosophy can not be ignored for the reference of Buddhism.It is necessary to study and discuss Zhang Zai's philosophy from the perspective of the relationship between the three religions.
