In order to avoid the absence of the Chinese philosophy in its integrity resulting from misunderstanding the uniqueness of it,we should use the corresponding ideas and methods while comprehending itAnd it is necessary to concern this attitude from beginning to the end in the process of the investigation of "Zhi"(直) and Confucius philosophy."Zhi"(直) was extensively involved in the literature before Confucius period,"The Book of History" expressed the internal unity relation of "Zhi"(直) between the individual character and political quality,moreover,emphasized the prominent role of zhi" in both the political practice and political quality.Confucius inherited the essence of "noumenon-action’s consistence " from traditional concept,also interpreted "Zhi" as human nature’s demands and proper way of conducting oneself profoundly.However,"Zhi" will cause negative effects and lose its significance as a result of the irrational behaviors,for this reason,Confucius attaches great importance to "Xue"(直),and expects the self-rising to achieving morality and creating virtue.It seems to indicate that Confucius concentrates all his attentions on behavioral practice ignoring the thinking of human nature.The actual situation is that practice and experience are the real roads of the realization of human nature for Confucius.Practice is not the blindfold,inflexible accumulation of behaviour, it is an integral,dynamic method with maintaining reflection and returning to the actual of inner center.Therefore,"Zhi"(直) and "Ren"(仁) appearing associated in the field of human nature, expressing the real voice of inner center and positive orientation,also,exploring the approach of the virtue.Grasping this point,then we can expect to avoid the wrong comprehension of "Parent-child interaction implicit" and"Elected integrity to remove dereliction",and discover the real significance of "Zhi"(直).
