Research Of Wang Chunan Shan's Theory On Nature And Life

As a thinker who assembles other theories in the history of Chinese philosophy, Wang Chuan Shan constructed the thought of "Theory of Nature and Life " which was covers from the world to people, based on former thinker's theory of human nature. He thought the universe was combination of Yin Yang which was inherited from Zhang Zai's concept of heaven. Ontology of Qi is Wang Chuan Shan's base of his whole thoughts of philosophy.Based on "Ontology of Qi", Wang Chuan Shan refuted moralists' so-called "reason first and then the Qi "standpoint. I is divided into Yin and Yang, the accumulation and losing,separation and combination are all reason. He considered reason was the reason of Qi, reason was in Qi, not "Qi existed without reason", "not reason first or Qi last" but reason and Qi inter depended and "binding one without two".The "binding one without two" reason and Qi belongs to the concept of goodness in Wang Chuan Shan's ideological system by which he combinated Good Human Nature of Mencius and moralists' ontology and used as basis of his philosophy system theory.That was from "the goodness of Qi", "the goodness of reason" and then "the goodness of destiny".Metaphysical destiny, that was in the reason of nature, change of Qi. Chuan Shan considered destiny is good, and Mencius's so-called good human nature was actually "good life", the goodness of destiny was the source of all goodness, which counted less as real human nature. The goodness of destiny just offered the metaphysical basis or model of human nature development, only a possible metaphysical source. On one side, the formation of humanity lies in the date of destiny, so that good human nature can be achieved or developed; the other side of human nature lies in the "habit" of non-human nature "into the statute instead of a variable by easy " life after birth. The "habit" plays a more important role than human nature in life's success indeed! Whether the nature of fate, or after birth, they were formed day by day, and that is Chuan Shan "interplay between man and the world" proposition. Chuanshan spectacular dynamic theory of human nature can be described as a wonderful work on human nature in traditional Chinese thought. Regardless of the characteristics of human nature theory, human nature is always the person with the nature of temperament. Human nature is "the nature of temperament. " In his ideological system of "Theory of Nature and Life " based on "Qi "theory, Chuan Shan's inheritance and revision on early Confucianism can be seen everywhere. The traditional Chinese view of heaven and human nature which was developed by Chuan Shan here, probably could be counted as a node.
