Before to the Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties,there was a lot of remarks on Lao Tzu,but many of them were based on exegetical notes.In the period of the Wei and Jin Dynasties,Wang Bi's annotation of "Lao zi" had an innovative development.This has a great relationship with Wang Bi's own experience,the academic atmosphere at that time,and the theme of the time.Wang Bi's annotation of Lao Tzu is inseparable from the understanding of the connotation of Lao Tzu.Lao Tzu's "Tao“”has four layers of meaning:the Tao of cosmology;Second,the Tao of regularity;Third,the Tao of life rules;Fourth,the Tao of realm.These four layers of meaning from metaphysics to the metaphysics,in order to form a unified universe system of heaven and man.Wang Bi not only undertook the development of Lao Tzu,but also carried out a new theoretical interpretation.His ideology and theory changed from the transformation of Laozi's cosmological ontology into the integration of ontology and phenomena,and the practice of social and political use.Finally,he constructed a systematic philosophical ideology.Wang Bi used the interpretation methods of“”Bian Ming Xi Li" and”De Yi Wang Yan" to interpret Lao Tzu from the perspective of language.By using the method of"Bian Ming Xi Li",Laozi's "Tao" is changed to "Wu",and Laozi's "Tao" has its metaphysical attribute "You" turned into concrete things.Using the method of "De Yi Wang Yan" to solve the grasp and understanding of ontology "Wu".These two methods have an important position in Wang Bi's philosophy.The final highlight of Wang Bi's interpretation of Lao Tzu is his ontological thought.As for how he transformed Laozi's cosmological thought into ontological thought,this is the main content of the discussion.Although Laozi's thoughts also include ontological thoughts,its main idea is to discuss the origin of all things,and Wang Bi highlights the ontology,focusing on the abstract ontology of all things,and the relationship between ontology and phenomena.The transformation of Wang Bi's ontology firstly analyzed Laozi's "Tao" of cosmology through the method of "Bian Ming Xi Li".He thought that "Ming Hao Chu Yu Xing Zhuang" and "Tao" is invisible,unformed,and no shape,so only Can be named after "Wu",so that "Wu" is replaced by"Tao".And he also regards the decline of the nature of the Tao as a specific reference to the existence of the universe.He believes that everything is tangible,imaginary,and tangible,so it is "You".Second,Wang Bi transformed the concept of "Sheng" in Laozi's thinking into the concept of "Cheng",which played down the concept that Lao Tzu produced.In addition,he interprets the relationship between "Wu" and "You".In"Laozi","Wu" is a description of the intangible and insipid things of "Tao"."You" is the existence of "Tao".The description of sexuality and usefulness,at the same time,is also the reference to all things.The relationship between "Wu" and "You" is a coexistence relationship from a metaphysical point of view.It is a generative relationship between metaphysics and metaphysics.Wang Bi did not understand Laozi's unrelated relationship.He believed that a non-existent relationship is a co-existence relationship,but only one is the subject and one is the phenomenon,that is,the relationship between body and use."Wu" and "You" are not separated."Wu" reflects the value of existence by "You".People also understand the role of "Wu" in the ontology through "You".The construction of Wang Bi's ontology is to serve the politics.Due to the requirements of the times,Wang Bi's philosophical thought must adapt to the development of society.Therefore,on the basis of ontology,he also reformed Lao Tzu's laws and rules and put forward the idea of "Yi Wu Wei Yong" political thought.On the one hand,he inherited Laozi's "Zi Ran" and "Wu Wei" thinking and raised the nature of Lao-tzu's laws to the status of social ontology.He used to reconcile the contradictions between "Zi Ran" and:Ming Jiao",Confucianism and Taoism,and raised the "Zi Ran"of the rules of life.For a policy,it proposes "Wu Wei Er Zhi" On the other hand,he used the idea of "Ben Mo Ti Yong He Yi" to connect the social practice of Taoism and the ontology proposed by Lao Tzu.Regarding the pursuit of interests by rulers and individuals,disputes persisted.He advocated that people should recognize the basis of things,not the end.Here,they proposed to "Chong Ben Xi Mo","Chong Ben Ju Mo",and "Shou Mu Yi Cun Zi".Let people realize that deliberate formulation of rituals and the pursuit of material desires are impracticable.Only the recognition of the ontology of things is the most important.Through the transformation of ontology of Wang Bi's Laozi Taoism and the implementation of "Taoism" at the social level,it is possible to grasp its ideological system.He established the ontological thought,not only focusing on the relationship between ontology and phenomenon issues from the perspective of metaphysics and metaphysics.Moreover,from a socio-political perspective,he also integrates the ontology,allowing people to recognize the importance of grasping the ontology of things and the existence of cognitive ontology in the work.In order to solve the social contradictions by using "Zhi Ben Tong Mo" we will connect Confucianism with Taoism,reconcile the social issues of "Ming Jiao" and "Zi Ran","Tao" and"Virtue",Confucius and Lao,and finally construct a set of ideological systems of "Ti Yong Yi Ru" and "Ben Mo He Yi".
