An Analysis Of The Pricipline Of "Weisheng" And The Movement Of "Tianjun"

The author takes the opening fable as the researched object in the first chapter. This part reveals four levels of "the pricipline of Weisheng" through analyzing the four images,who are disciples, Nan Rongchu, Geng Sangchu, Laodan, in the fable. "Weisheng" concerned not only personal character accomplishment, but also the movement of Heaven. That is to say, only combining human with Heaven, can the highest sphere gain. Heaven, a broader background, can be found in the nature of Geng Sangchu and Laodan. People in these two sphere open to Heaven. The fable ends up with "the morality of Zhiren". "The morality of Zhiren" not only summarizes above four levels, but opens the metaphysical basis of Weisheng, that is Tianjun. In second chapter, Tianjun, the most fundamental support of Weisheng, is revealed on the basis of text analysis. The movement of Tianjun is everywhere under the Heaven. The appearance of Tianjun presents mainly in the two aspects:Lingtai and Mind.The third chapter reveals the practical character of Tianjun from Lingtai and the separated history of Mind. The first section of third chapter shows Lingtai is the opposite result that Tianjun effects on people. The second section explains the constant division of Mind, which is a negative results that Tianjun gets in the mind and illustrates the division of Dao that is a root of the continuely divided Mind in the metaphysical level. The birth, breed and death of creation is the natural running result of Dao. Dao has a process from division to integration and can return to itself naturally. These two sides show in the forth chapter. The first section in this chapter answers how to return to nature. On the basis of the first section, the second section describes how people imitate Heaven. In the other words, it will explain how the way of Man comes back the way of Heaven.
