| Silk version of Yi zhuan possesses a set of Yin-yang with rich thought intention.Scholars have attained abundant achievements though,further research is needed.By adopting the precedent achievements related,this paper focuses the silk version of Yi zhuan on the background of composed,the intention of Yin-yang,the humanity thought of Yin-yang and the compacts of Yin-yang.Firstly,from the origin and development perspectives,the concept of Yin-yang has already formed and applied in the late Springs and Autumns period,and it became a Philosophical category in the early Warring States period.The cosmological meaning of the Yin-yang has been clearly existed.From the early period of the Warring States to the late Warring States period,the six chapters of Silk version of Yi zhuan were successively written into books,absorbing the concept of Yin-yang,especially in the aspect of cosmology.They were applied to the interpretation of the ancient text of Zhou yi,thus constructing their own concept of Yin-yang.Secondly,being abundant,the concept of Yin-yang in the Silk version of Yi zhuan respects four key points as follow.Primarily,the proposition of "Yi assemble Yin-yang" believes the thoughts of Zhou yi were mainly focused on Yin-yang,which essence is a gasification cosmogenesis theory from the metaphysical aspect.This is a kind of universe ontology with Yin and Yang as its connotation.In terms of the metaphysical level,the dao of noumenon contains Yin and Yang,which are manifested as rigidness and softness,heaven and earth,opening and closing,intercourse and brightness.All things are born according to the way of Yin and Yang.Furthermore,on the basis of Yin-yang,Zhou yi expresses Yin-yang via Xiang shu.All the hexagrams are the yin and yang,which are the embodiment of yin and yang.Every mathematics has yin and yang properties,all of which are yin and yang.All numbers have the attributes of Yin and Yang,and they are all the numbers of Yin and Yang.All lines have the attributes of Yin and Yang,and they are all the lines of Yin and Yang.lines are divided into "hardness" or "softness",so it is also called "yin lines" or "yang lines".Ultimately,Silk version of Yi zhuan pays attention to balance Yin with Yang,emphasizing the convergence of yin and yang,and reach the acme." Hardness " and"softness" are a kind of manifestation of Yin and Yang.As far as hardness and softness are concerned,they should have both dynamic and static characteristics,so as to achieve a righteousness and mean state.From the point of view of the unity of hardness and softness,they should help each other and be mutually complementary before they can be harmonious.Civil and martial affairs are another manifestation of Yin and Yang,which corresponds to the hardness and softness of the Dao of Earth,and should complement each other to achieve the righteousness and mean4.Thirdly,the silk version of Yi zhuan reveals humanity in the context of Yin-yang are Qi,holding the view that humanity is generated by Yin-yang,and expressing that humanity have Qi attributes.Furthermore,the human nature with Yin-yang characteristics has three aspects:benevolent and wisdom,benevolence and righteousness,civil and martial affairs.Human beings have the nature of benevolence and wisdom.Benevolence is the ability of human perception and communication,which is born of Yang Qi.Wisdom is the ability of human consciousness to understand,which is based on the Yin Qi.People have the nature of benevolence and righteousness,and benevolence is emotion.It is the feeling of benevolence in life,which is born of Yang Qi.Righteousness is the reason of human life,which is formed by Yin and Qi.Humanity has the nature of civil and martial affairs.civil is peaceful and gentle,based on the main quiet Yin Qi,born with Yin Qi;martial arts are pioneering and strong,based on the initiative Yang Qi,formed by Chengyang Qi.Additionally,because of the human nature’s eternal pursuit of life,the yin and yang must be affirmed and must be absolutely "good." In reality,the relative good and evil originate from the operation of Yin-Yang,and good is born in Yang and accumulated gradually;evil is born in Yin and accumulated gradually.Therefore,people should be highly alert to the occurrence of evil,and work hard at the source to prevent the germination of’ evil.Ultimately,Zhou Yi’s" Sun and Yi reason " shows that the good and bad are in the operation of the yin and yang,the yang symbolizes the birth,so the Geely;the yin symbolizes death,so fierce.The good and the bad are one,the auspiciousness is fierce,and the fierceness is auspicious.In personnel matters,it is auspicious and it is a fierce.Therefore,we should handle the dialectical relationship between the two.Fourthly,the concept of Yin-yang in the silk version of Yi zhuan exerts a direct influence on Yi-ology during the late Warring States period to the Western Han Dynasty.Sima Qian inherited Tian He’s thoughts on Yi Xue,saying that "Zhou Yi mainly talks about yin and yang".It influenced Meng Xi’s four cardinal trigrams Gua-qi theory,twelve months Gua-qi theory and one hexagram governs six and seven eightieth days.It influenced Jing Fang’s eight-palace hexagram order theory and feifu theory.It affects the Yi wei’s theory of eight trigrams Gua-qi theory.They are all developed on the basis of inheriting the Yin-Yang thoughts of the silk version of Yi zhuan.They all inherited the Yin-Yang thought of the silk version of Yi zhuan,and then further innovated and developed it. |
