The origin of the universe has always been the basic questions of philosophic problem since ancient times. In the west, not only the Western philosophy from ancient Greece, but also the scientific produced on this basis. The world view of them are all constituent. But in china, from LaoZi's thought of "dao", almost every school of ancient philosophy considered that the origin of the universe is generated.In YuanQi generation theory, the existence of the world is generated. And the universe began in "dao" or "taiyi" which is not prescriptively. Because we can't prescribe the beginning, "dao" is "nothing" which like the starting point of the Big Bang. The first sequence generated from "dao" is "dao generates one"——"yi yuan zhi qi". "yiqi"is energy field which is no different, diffused and completely uniform power, viz.vacuum. "yuanqi" has the ability of self-creation and self-organization. "qi" is the origin in West Philosophy. "qi" could self-creation, self-differentiation and self-expression. Therefore. there is "one generates two" from "qi". We can say "qi" divides "yinqi" and "yangqi". Then the difference is appeared. So the power become uneven. Viz. "the lighter one rise to be air, and the heavier one down to be earth." Since then, the world has shape, location and other space's rules. "two generate three"is the process of run, move and change because of yinqi and yangqi's interaction. Moreover, the process means the existence mode which is regulated by "time". There is three existent modes——power's effect, physical space and process time. So "three generate all". "Three" is the world's existent modes. When power's effect, physical space and process time are divided and completed from "dao", every existent mode is accomplished. Then the world is generated.In modern time, the reductionism represents universe constitution theory which is revealed it's limitation in the new scientific fact. Such as Quantum mechanics and Quantum field theory, they are generation theory obviously. Physicist Sutton said "the new revelation maybe, and certainly from the East." Besides, many Scientists and philosophers began to think about the generated world view. Joseph. Lee said "Chinese thoughts and philosophy are fit in with modern science more than Christian's worldview.'" Moreover, the British scientists Bondi, Gold and Hoyle proposed "steady state model is correspond with ancient Chinese'dao'and Biological evolution theory. " All of these words show that ancient Chinese philosophy of universe generation is advanced not only in ancient times, but also in modern times. And "yuanqi" generation theory from "daojia" is the pioneer of ancient Chinese universe generation theory. It has the inspirational and research significance to modern philosophy.
