Exploring Zhang Zai's Thought Of "Sheng Sheng"

"Sheng Sheng"is the first essential of "Yi",and Confucian"Sheng Sheng"thought with this core thought has always been an important part of Confucian philosophy.However,since the Han and Tang Dynasties,with the growing prosperity of Buddhism,the traditional Confucian "Sheng Sheng" thought has encountered severe challenges.On the other hand,Confucianism is unable to fight against Buddhism because of its lack of theoretical foundation.With the "Tai Xu" as the foundation of value,Zhang Zai affirmed the value and significance of the Confucian "Sheng Sheng" universe by destroying the concept of"Xu" and "Kong" of Buddhism,thus preserving the orthodox status of Confucianism.At the same time,he also criticized the thought of "knowing people and do not knowing the heavens"in Confucianism in the Han and Tang Dynasties,and thus succeeding the Taoist system that no one inherited from Confucius and Mencius.More importantly,Zhang Zai actively absorbs and develops the traditional"Sheng Sheng" thought of Confucianism,and on this basis,builds his own "Sheng Sheng" thinking.The "Sheng Sheng" thought he constructed from this has not only become an important part of his philosophical thinking,but also has a very important influence on the formation of his entire philosophical thought,such as his ritual thoughts,the unity of man and nature.Thoughts are closely related to their "Sheng Sheng" thinking.Specific to the content,thus article is mainly divided into three parts:The first part is to carefully sort out the traditional Confucian ideas of "Sheng Sheng" to clarify the inherent logic theory of its ideological system.In the process of combing,we mainly pay attention to the development process of a certain viewpoint of traditional Confucian "Sheng Sheng" thinking.The second part is mainly from the perspective of Zhang Zai re-establishing the'value foundation of Confucian "Sheng Sheng" thought,and on this basis,build his own "Sheng Sheng" thought.The focus of this part of the focus is that Zhang Zai introduced the concept of "Tai Xu" and re-established a metaphysical theoretical value foundation for Confucian "Sheng Sheng" thinking and even his philosophical thinking.The third part is mainly to look at the influence of Zhang Zai's "Sheng Sheng"thought on the system construction of his philosophical thought from the perspective of "Sheng Sheng".Zhang Zai's "Sheng Sheng" thought can actually be said to be the origin of his universe and the ideas he generated.This has become the basis for the formation and construction of Zhang Zai's other philosophical thoughts.To sum up the above,this article aims to use the above three parts,especially through the introduction of the concept of "Tai Xu",to deeply understand Zhang Zai's"Sheng Sheng" thinking in the continuation and reconstruction of the traditional Confucian "Sheng Sheng" thinking The significance of this,at the same time,can also have a general understanding of Zhang Zai's "Sheng Sheng" thought and its philosophical thinking.
