The Kuei-shen And Sacrifice In Chu His's Li And Ch'i

In China,the concept of kuei-shen has been being since ancient times.The attitude of Confucianism to kuei-shen is "don't talk",which is not only fear of" kuei-shen",but also because kuei-shen is difficult to explain clearly.Chu His's concept of kuei-shen is analyzed in Chu His's theory of ch'i and ch'i.Li and ch'i are the source of all things.Ch'i divides yin and yang,yin and yang produce the Five Agents,and all things are born by the Five Agents.Kuei-shen is just the energy of ch'i.Chu His roughly divided the kuei-shen into three categories:the fair and right-minded kuei-shen in the day,the evil kuei-shen in the ningt,and kuei-shen of sacrifice,and they are all the traces of creation."Sacrifice",it is not only to make " the sacrifice " connect the kuei-shen very well with the human but also turn it easily to study the meaning of kuei-shen.The sacrifice is too important to be replaced in the history of the Chinese nation.It is the national affairs which is very important for politic and moralize.Therefore,when Chu His talks about the kuei-shen,Sacrifice is must to be mentioned.
