This article is divided into three parts. Via inheriting the standpoint of the past and refuting the contrary arguments , the first part demonstrates that the Emptiness of Matter Sengzhao refuted in "The Dissertation about Non-realness Is Empty" is namely the Emptiness of Matter Zhidun affirmated.This lays a foundation for understanding Zhidun's Emptiness of Matter better latter.The second part discusses the essence of Zhidun's Empiness of Matter and the difference with the BoRuo Empitness School represented by Sengzhao detailly from four aspects. Firstly,Matter can't exist for its own cause,so it's empty. From the matter itself,it exists because of various condition,so it hasn't self-contained nature and is empty. Secondly,we can't persist in Matters and can't persist hi Emptiness too. Zhidun has cognized that the exsistence is empty and the non-exsistence is empty too.And he has realized the thought fasion of neither persisting in exsistence nor non-exsistence ,but the cognition is not downright enough,he doesn't impenetrate it in the whole thought system. Thirdly,Zhidun affirmated to realize the emptiness from the angle of subjectivity and impersonality's combination,but it is inferior to the BoRuo Empitness School in the degree of syncretizaing subjectivity and impersonality. Fourthly,Zhidun not only considers matters are empty,but also considers matters are different with emptiness.This just materializes the essential differences between the Emptiness of Matter of Zhidun and the BoRuo Empty School.The third part discusses firstly the originality of Zhidun's New Standpoint of Freedom and the differences with Xiang and Guo's Standpoint of Freedom :one is the Freedom because of indulging the heart,the other is the Freedom because of satisfying the nature. In succession, represented by Zhidun, this article analyzes the characteristic of the mingling of Buddhism and Metaphysics in the thought scopes at that time so that it can explain the cause why the originality of Zhidun's New Standpoint of Freedom is new. Afterward,the article analyzes the intrinsic relationship between the Emptiness of Matter and the originality of Zhidun's New Standpoint of Freedom from four aspects.Firstly,Buddhm is namely the Extreme Man. Secondly,the heart of the Extreme Man associates the Emptiness of Matter and the originality of the New Standpoint of Freedom. Thirdly,matters can't become the dependence of themselves,they all depend other things. We can't achieve freedom by satisfying condition in the true-life,so freedom can only be the unconventional state in spirit. Fourthly,the category of Nature associates the Emptiness of Matter and the originality of the New Standpoint of Freedom. Finally,by analyzing the successful inputting of Buddhism represented with Zhidun ,the article put forward that any foreign cuture must cling to traditional culture for basing itself upon and that the communion of two kinds of culture must be learning and affecting each other.
