Zhu Xi as a representative ofNeo-Confucianism, his thought has obtained the Ming and QingDynasties ruler’s approval, becomes the feudal society later period theofficial theory.Zhu Xi live in the early years of the Southern Song dynasty, theSouthern Song regime State of flux, Golden press step by step outside,break out of the peasant uprising. On the economy, business booms,causing people to gain blind Chase. In such a situation, Zhu tried to repairthe feudal morality to guide people’s actions. Regarding the moralknowledge and the moral practice relational question, Zhu Xi hasestablished a set of complete moral knowing and doing view. Theknowing and doing view is the ancient Chinese philosophy, the importantareas in pre-Qin period, Confucius, Xunzi and others on the moralknowledge and moral practices are discussed the relationship . During theSong dynasty, Cheng Yi, and Cheng Hao have carried on the speciallydiscussion to“the knowing and doing”Zhu Xi absorbs the Confucianist related“the knowing and doing”thought, also profits from Buddhism andin the Taoism thought foundation to form his own moral knowing anddoing view.On Zhu Xi’s theory of knowing, knowledge refers to theunderstanding of objective things, especially moral knowledge mainlyrefers to the people based on the moral awareness of ethical practice. ZhuXi was discussed in three aspects about the knowing and doing view. Forprecedence, Zhu Xi’s view known, rows in the back. Knowing must firstis morality can be carried out on the basis of fulfillment of morality.
