A Study Of Zhu Xi's Literature Theory Of "Upright The Mind" In The Great Learning

Zhu xi paid much attention to the annotation of "The Great Learning",which was not only to explain the argumentation in order to show his neo-confucianism,but also to provide a ladder for the common people,which had realistic guiding significance.Among them,"Upright the mind" the work link involves the Xin,this category has the rich connotation in Zhu xi's philosophy,has the extremely important significance,therefore to Zhu xi's "Upright the mind" the in-depth study can at the same Gongfu see his theory of the mind and Gongfu theory.For Zhu xi "Zheng" is both Gongfu and the goal of Gongfu.As work,"Zheng" is the process of correcting the mind;As the goal of Gongfu "Zheng" is the rational development of the mind,no fault without reach.As the subject of Gongfu "Xin" not only has the ability to dominate,but also represents emotions such as happiness and sorrow as the content of Gongfu As the subject of Gongfu "mind" is the practitioner of "Zheng" Gongfu.As the content of Gongfu,the unreasonable "mind" is the object to be corrected by the "Zheng" Gongfu.When the work of "Upright the mind" is independent of other work items,"Upright the mind" can be divided into three parts: before,at the time and after.It is believed that the work of each stage is relatively independent and has its own emphasis,but influences each other.They constitute thework process of "Upright the mind".Through the self-cultivation Gongfu before the encounter to achieve the Xin of the natural "silent motionless";Through the at the time and after the trouble of the "Xin" of "Comprehension through meditation".Finally,the external "effect" to verify whether the Xin is really "Zheng".When integrating the effort of "Upright the mind" into the effort of sincere cultivation of one's morality,Zhu xi regarded it as the key link connecting the previous and the next,the hinge of the physical and mental effort and the important turning point from inside to outside.On the one hand,"to accumulate the sincerity" is the "Upright the mind" Gongfu conditions,and the experience is the effect of the intention to get sincere;"Upright the mind" Gongfu is the condition of "cultivate one's mind" Gongfu.On the other hand,the inner labor cultivation of the mind is transformed from the "Upright the mind" to the guidance of the external labor,which affects the body's audio-visual and verbal activities.In addition,the comparative study between Zhu xi and Mencius' s "Using one's whole mind" "Seeking the mind of loss" and "preserving one's mind","nourishing the mind" shows that "Upright the mind" can fully contain these four minds.Finally,through in-depth exploration of Zhu xi's multi-angle and multi-level understanding of the "Upright the mind",we find his great tension in understanding the category of the Xin,and the Xin exists in various forms in every Gongfu link.Therefore,from the perspective of labor,Zhu xi's philosophy can not be said to be a rigorous structure,distinct hierarchy of the "Philosophy Of Heart" system.
