Abstract/Summary:
Tao is one of the core concepts of chinese philosophy,its original meaning refers to the road,law and the correct method of doing things,this meaning in the pre-Qin period of Confucianism,ink,name,law and other ideological theories have a certain embodiment.Taoists have taoism,confucianism has confucianism,the name of the law also has the name of the way,the pre-qin hundred families each hold one end,do not agree,as confucius said," different ways do not seek each other".Among them,"Confucianism "as one of the hundred families,since Confucius has been" loyalty and forgiveness"as the fundamental way of internal holy foreign kings as their highest value pursuit.However,after the development of the connotation and nature of the Confucian Tao in the pre-Qin Dynasty to the Song Dynasty,it has undergone a fundamental transformation and innovation,that is,from the empirical metaphysical Tao before the Song Dynasty to the dual nature of the Tao,the most representative philosopher in the transformation and innovation of the nature of Tao is the Neo-Confucianism of the Song Dynasty.Zhu Xi’s "Tao" not only has the empirical side of the traditional Confucian "Tao" before the Song Dynasty,but also obtains its transcendental side through the critical absorption of the Buddha’s old thought.The empirical Tao is the road in Zhu Xi,that is Or "reason" is the origin and reason of all things,and provides the basis for the legitimacy of the existence of things.If the transcendental metaphysical "Tao" has the status and function of "body" as the origin of the world,then the "Tao" as "use" focuses on "time" and "practice",the practice of time is not an empirical activity,it is mainly carried out at the metaphysical level.In Zhu Xi’s view," do time "and practice is not only the tradition of Confucianism since the pre-Qin Dynasty,Confucius once said that" do Yu Li,then with learning",more importantly,only "time" is the basic way that we will be obscured by human desire "nature" to re-understand in the human heart,but also we become conscious,self-evident people rather than "ghost" fundamental method.The Neo-Confucianism of Song Ming,represented by Zhu Xi,provided a fundamental basis for the existence of things by presupposing a transcendental "principle "(or" Tao"),which not only made the "Neo-Confucianism" and the previous Confucianism produce a fundamental basis in the scope and scope of the study The possibility of communication,one of its performance is to "people" self-reflection and attention.In a word,Zhu Zi philosophy not only has a great influence on Chinese traditional philosophy,but also contains rich modernity,and Zhu Zi philosophy still needs us to continue to study and excavate.
