Study On The Bamboo Metaphysical Trend

The bamboo metaphysical trend under metaphysics current had its own development in the ideology and culture development of Wei Jin.The learning style and scholar behaviors of eastern Han fostered the new factors that awakened the long inhibited consciousness of eastern Han scholars. In Zhengshi years, the philosophy of Laozi was closely tied to Wei Jin regime. The idle talking argumentation and metaphysics theory of Zhengshi celebrities brought some new thoughts and concepts to Wei Jin regime. Although Zhengshi celebrities was expelled from the political arena by Gaopingling Coup, the ideal personality pattern of Wang Bi’s "Sages have affections" and "Being interior affectionately without exterior unfolding" laid the foundation of adjusting the relationship between affections and etiquette in metaphysics, which also guided the bamboo celebrities who were in the situation of "etiquette in severe". Under the hypocritical rule of Sima regime, the bamboo celebrities tried to reconstruct the frank and plain relationship between affections and etiquette guided by Laozi philosophy. They secluded themselves from the political arena to the bamboo forests in Shanyang, Henei drinking,drugging and indulging to oppose the hypocritical regime, showing their grief and depression by indulging and rebelling, striving for the ideology emancipation and freedom by deep affection and being plain, the arbitrary and natural way of which demonstrated the meanings of their lives. And the bamboo celebrities applied the freedom of Laozi and Zhuangzi into their lives and developed it into a norm of the celebrities which converged into the bamboo metaphysical trend having the fame all over the country. The ideological emancipation and personality freedom of bamboo metaphysical trend aroused the curiosity and following of the nobles. The Eight-Unrestraint such as Yuan Kang enjoyed their self-indulgence without any restriction that inherited the external not the internal of the Seven Literati’s behaviors. Meanwhile, the idle talking celebrities just had some idle talking at leisure irrelevant to politics. And the traditional scholars served the time lacking the attitude of being faithful and loyal. The affectionate and plain bamboo metaphysical trend, filtered by the unrestrained trend of Yuan Kang, became the deserted school with decadent behaviors of Western Jin scholars. On the collapse of Western Jin, the insightful celebrities crossed Yangtze River began to reflect on metaphysics and the Zhongxing celebrities began to strike a balance between Confucius and metaphysics. Therefore, the bamboo metaphysical trend in the aggressive development of Confucius seemed to go back to the "advocating etiquette with self-indulgence" of eastern Han. But influenced by Buddhism philosophy, the bamboo metaphysical trend, developed at the end of Wei, gradually declined with the compromise of Confucius and Buddhism.
