Inquires To The Possibility Of Original Meaning About Ren Lun-Tracing The Ancient Chinese Presupposition Of Ren (People)

This paper focuses on how the ancient Chinese established themselves with its unique observation of the world. That is, the theme of the paper aims at what is the Chinese ancient presupposition about the human being as far as Chinese. According to the presupposition, this thesis plans to provide a possible elaboration of the original meaning about the Chinese view of Ren Lun, a framework of interpreting Chinese ancient culture.In ancient China, Ren (people) is born with the nature of Heaven and Earth, i.e. the Yan and Yin two fold nature. The two fold nature means that The Yan principle is phenomenal mind and The Yin principle is the simple energy. For Ren (people), the two fold nature means Liangzhi and Liangneng of human being. In particular, Liangzhi is of natural mind. A man who takes natural mind to control himself is considered as a priori , Xiantian, person.A person who has forgotten natural mind is considered as a posteriori, Houtian, person. A Houtian person has an ego with five aspects, respectively the wandering soul, the understanding form, the random thought, the breadth of spirit and the body. I will interpret them as standpoint of ego, cognition of ego, thought of ego, sentiment soul of ego and body of ego. They represents five kind of desires, the happiness, the joy, the desire, the anger and the sorrow. A Xiantian person also has five aspects, Yuan Xing, Yuan Shen, Yuan Qi, Yuan Qing and Yuan Jing. They are also respectively called as the benevolence, the ritual, the justice, the wisdom and the faith. Yuan Xing is of the Liangzhi and Yuan Qi of the Liangneng.Human being has two kinds nature, respectively the Xiantian and Houtian's. And the original meaning of Te will be in the sense of returning from Houtian to Xiantian. This is also precisely the truth which the Luo River Book describes. Whereas Dao's real meaning will be that to put the Xiantian's personality and the Houtian's personality together. This is also precisely the truth which the River Chart describes.This paper presents tends to provide an interpretation of Chinese culture with a possible framework which might be used as a way of understanding Chinese culture as a whole.
