Wang Anshi’s Philosophica Thoughts In Political Practice

Wang Anshi was a famous statesman,litterateu r,thinker and reformer in the Northern Song Dynasty.The essence of any kind of reform is an alternation of culture.Wang Anshi was well-read and had rich experience of serving with his father in his early years,which made him able to go deep into the bottom and see the suffering of people’s livelihood,which provided a realistic basis for his reform into the imperial court and thus formed a unique set of political philosophy.This paper mainly analyzes Wang Anshi’s reform from three aspects.Wang Anshi’s reform has its special historical background.The biggest characteristic of the Northern Song Dynasty is the centralization of power,and it is a high degree of centralization and light use of power.In a short time can rest with the people,but a long time on the malpractice.In addition,the selection system of officials in the Northern Song Dynasty resulted in a large number of redundant officials,which led to the low efficiency of the Northern Song government and the prevailing trend of seeking no merit but no fault.In terms of cultural development,the Northern Song Dynasty had been carrying out the political policy of Huang-Lao inaction since the founding of the People’s Republic of China,but it was no longer suitable for the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty.Moreover,the development of Buddhism from the Wei and Jin Dynasties to the Northern Song Dynasty,which had a certain scale,had threatened the status of Confucianism and people’s thoughts.The formation of Wang Anshi’s political philosophy is closely related to his own academic experience.Wang Anshi’s reform and Qingli’s New Deal can be said to be in the same line.Qinglli periods is the main purpose of the New Deal to establish a new political constitution outline,wang anshi is also continuing to pursue this goal,fan zhongyan and others,wang anshi and his own profound wisdom and knowledge,reforming of Confucianism,and then to the "heaven",makes a new interpretation of "human nature",that "heaven"is objective,there is no mystery,And "human nature" is not the day of birth,human nature only contains the factors of good and evil,people’s good and evil is related to people’s acquired habits,which lays the foundation for the generation of his political philosophy.The core content of Wang Anshi’s political philosophy is "the destiny of heaven is not to be feared","the message is not to be respected" and "the ancestor is not to be regarded as the law".Wang Anshi first assisted Taoism into Confucianism,emphasizing that "the ancestor is not law","no reason and ruthless",the concept of the altar of destiny knocked down.This is largely to clear ideological barriers to political change.The whole political philosophy of the operation of the idea is "from the way to how",for "is" Wang Anshi did a different interpretation with Han Yu,and with the Taoist concept of "the way of heaven",as the Confucian benevolence,justice,ethics and even the highest principle of social norms.Wang Anshi also discusses the noumenon of his political philosophy,"the way of heaven".Humanity obeys the way of heaven,and the way of heaven is the law of natural operation without the participation of personnel.Humanity,in addition to implementing the way of heaven,also needs to adjust the plan according to public feeling and human nature.
