The Study Of Wei Liaoweng's Philosophy Between "Li" And "Xin"

Wei Liaoweng(Heshan),He studied Zhu Xi's thoughts,and has a remarkable achievement in Neo-Confucianism of late Southern Song Dynasty.He's life have too many experienced,in official several on the ups and downs.He always has a large circle of friends,and with Zhen Dexiu said "Xishang Heshan",also had kept up close exchanges with Zhu Xi's disciples Fu Guang and Lu Jiuyuan.The age that Wei Liaoweng's live,the Learning atmosphere are getting worse,and have a growing feeling of insecurity,shortly after the forbid ban school the Qingyuan.Wei Liaoweng is committed to reversing the world of ills,and have a hard work in academic,and twice presented the letter for the Zhou Dunyi,Cheng Yi,Cheng Hao,and also have a great work in the orthodox work of Neo-Confucianism.Wei Liaoweng's philosophical background is complex and influenced by the legacy problems of Zhu Xi.Before Wei Liaoweng exposure to science,He devoted himself to poetry and prose,until the acquaintance of Zhu's disciples Fu Guang and Li Zifang,buried in Zhu works,and turned to learn Zhu Xi's knowledge.So its early philosophical thought is mainly "Li",although deeply affected by Zhu Xi,but not difficult.When explain "Li",Wei Liaoweng to "Yi" into the "Li" in the interpretation.And Wei Liaoweng's concept of "Yi" and "Qi" in different circumstances have different expression:when construction the heaven and the earth,the "Li" and "Qi" can't not be separated;giving man a good disposition was the "Li" ahead of "Qi".Therefore,Wei Liaoweng's "Qi" relationship is both fixed and not fixed,and have a two-edged one.This duality is necessary to understand Zhuzi's theory,the "Li","Qi" is necessary,and can understand the independence problems of Zhu Xi's "Li".And only when the "Li"is the logical of "Li",the "Li" can be as the first original of the universe,and to maintain its independence.Once the "Qi" turn into the rationale and become the kind,it will be regardless of "Qi" and "Li".Although Wei Liaoweng was the first to attract Zhu Zi's thought,but its "xin"thought thinking has also been a long time.Wei Liaoweng pursuit the "living spirit",and do not want to spend flowers from the peach to see,and willingness from the roots under the tree to explore.The origin of Wei Liaoweng's thoughts is influenced by the Mencius's theory,the thought of "xin",the thought of Zhuzi's thought,and the thought of Shao Yong's congenital "xin"."Xin" thought is thoughtful,the heart has the meaning of the universe ontology,but also the moral meaning of the human body,showing its "xin" tendencies,so Wei Liaoweng advocated "seeking its own heart","Mingxin".Wei Liaoweng's academic character includes the thought of "qi" and the thought"xin",so the controversy is particularly high.Or that its overall thinking is still belong to the "qi",or turn to the "xin",,or its academic nature as the integration of Zhu Xi and Lu Jiuyuan,blend the "qi" and the "xin".In fact Wei Liaoweng's thought "xin" is a step by step and progressive,and is a reflection of the overnight,not a blunt abrupt turn and expression,which also reflects the "li" and "xin" of the rationality in the coexistence of the foundation.Wei Liaoweng compatible "li" and"xin",so its academic character mixed "li","xin" and make it show a contradictory situation.Wei Liaoweng one with "li" based,and another with "xin" based.But Wei Liaoweng haven't have the issue that the "xin" and "li" are equal to each other,he said "xin" is the gathering place of "li"."xin" and "li" is clearly not equate."Li" is the root of the benevolence and wisdom;"xin" is the flesh and blood of the human body.When he said,"xin" is the gathering place of "li",it is a human point of view.Specifically to the moral point of view of the subject,not the origin of the universe,not the "xin" is "li".Thus,Wei Liaoweng for "li","xin" dualism of the problem is still not properly handled.To sum up,the bequeath problems left by Zhu Zi,Wei Liaoweng still failed to have greater courage out of its linguistic situation,still in the range determined by Zhu Zi,which is the characteristics of the late Southern Song Dynasty.But this can not cover the Wei Liaoweng's excellent,especially for the Confucius and Mencius orthodox inheritance,it is difficult and valuable.
