His book called "QianFulun ".It absorbs the thoughts of Xun Zi in many ways, but it not same with "Xun Zi". Because of the different times and the different status. The thesis adopts the method of comparative studies between two books, in order to enrich the Xun Zi's influence on the later generations and explore the thoughts origin and development of "QianFulun", and discusses ZiShu's mental changing.The text is divided into five chapters:The first chapter include the author's life and the compiling process.Predecessors'study,little mention of XunZi and Wang Fu's time and life what have commonness,in this chapter,the author,from the defects in the common era,discusses three aspects of the personality and knowledge,to explore and proves that the two books are the basis of a comparative study.Through analyzing the compiling process and characteristics of the two books,for adding instance that explore exchanges form the XianQin(??)ZiShu to the Eastern Han Dynasty ZiShu.The second chapter includes the view of nature and theoty of human nature.These two propositions are thought all previous dynasties with positive thinking.Predecessors on this issue few system comparison,so this chapter through the comparison of system,the author found that Xun Zi and WangFu divided heaven into the nature and the gods'will.On the understanding of"relationship between heaven and man",the author divided into the national level and personal level.At the national level,Xun Zi put forward the"distinguishing the function between heaven and man",(??????)WangFu successively put forward this view.Xun Zi and WangFu think on governance,must play a person's ability and wisdom.On a personal level,Xun Zi and WangFu think the power of the individual is too small,the fate of theindividual held by god or the time,but not toward the negative side,but in virtue of cultivate one's morality to hold personal destiny.In this aspect of human nature,is divided into the definition,determination,the transformation of human nature.XunZi think human nature is inherent,but WangFu was influenced by Dong Zhongshu"three kinds of human nature".WangFu divided the human nature into the intelligence,the fool and the normal people.Judge of human nature,XunZi held the human nature is evil,WangFu considered the human natute is good or evil.In the reconstruction of human nature,the author divided into personal level and national level.On the personal level,WangFu inherited XunZi's point of view,learning and accumulation are key in reconstruction of human nature.On the national level,XunZi adopted etiquette.WangFu relyed on monarch of enlightenment to the people.And WangFu according to his experience,put forward that the stand of the human nature does not depend on the status.The third chapter discusses the comparison of the governing philosophy. This chapter intends to do two, focus on people-oriented thought and the monarch thought.By comparison, it can be seen that, on the understanding of your people relationship,WangFu inherited the thought of Xun Zi, think the monarch is set up for the people and had the power to rule the people. WangFu who was influenced by the "heaven induction" thought that god can receive pulic mind. He callde for the king must attaches great importance to the pulic mind and promulgate benefit policy. Make people a better life is attaches importance to the performance of the people, is the foundation of national stability.

It is an innovation comparison of this paper. Because of age and similar personality, so makes xunzi and WangFu have common thought on the construction of social order and admit that man's subjective initiative, monarch plays an important role in governing, and so on.Due to the different time, status, make Zi Shu's spirit of being presented is different. "Xunzi" from the macroscopic aspect to builder's point of view, discusses the thinking of social problems. "QianFulun" in the medical point of view, from the concrete to open for social ills. This makes the spirit of the Zi Shu pattern is different, "XunZi" have more grand atmosphere.
