Research On The Thought Of "Taiji Diagram" In East Asia In The Modern Times

The book Imperial collection of four catalogs copied and paraphrased by the four sons of the Song Dynasty said that among the five sons of the Song Dynasty,Zhouzi wrote the least books,but when talked about Confucian debate,Zhouzi had the most books.Zhouzi is also called Zhou Dunyi or Maoshu.He was born in the first year of Tianxi of Emperor Zhenzong’s Lianxibao,yingleli district.Because of the construction of the book hall under Lushan Lianhua Peak,People named this place Lianxi,So later generations also call Zhouzi Mr.Lianxi.He was the ancestor of Neo-Confucianism in Song and Ming dynasties,and ranked first in the "five sons of the Northern Song Dynasty." The debate among Confucianism,however,the book of Zhouzi is the most " derived from Zhou Dunyi’s Taiji Tu" and its theory.The number of words is a few hundred,but later Neo-Confucianism,psychology and Qi all originated from it.The debate on the philosophical concepts of "Wuji and Taiji","Taiji,Yin and Yang" and "the relationship between Management and Qi" has never stopped for thousands of years.In the past,the debates of Confucianism often only condensed the perspective in the quotations and works of Confucianism in Song,Yuan,Ming and Qing dynasties.However,the problem is that the influence of Neo-Confucianism is far from the whole of East Asia,North Korea and Japan.Its influence and development in these places can’t be ignore,especially in the modern world with higher inclusiveness and openness.Therefore,the author intends to study Zhouzi’s Taiji diagram thought from the perspective of East Asia.There are many Confucianism who discuss the thought of Zhouzi’s Taiji Tu,the time span is nearly a thousand years,so a focus is needed to discuss it.Shanqianzhai is known as the opening mountain of Neo-Confucianism in the Edo era of Japan.From its beginning,he has carried out a wide discussion of Neo-Confucianism in Japan.His disciple,Qianjianjiongzhai,sorted out such a school of school as Zhuzi Lituixi Shanqianzhai through "the White Deer Cave Academy reveals".Li Tuixi,also known as Li Shu of the Lee Dynasty in Korea,was the founder of Korean sexology as well as Zhu Zixue.In Zhu Qianzhi’s book Zhuzi theory of Japan,he holds that the Anzhai’s School most admired Fang Xiaoru and Xue Xuan in Ming Dynasty.Compared with Fangxiaoru,Xuexuan left more wealth in Neo-Confucianism than Fangxiaoru.In fact,his interpretation of NeoConfucianism had a greater influence on North Korea and Japan at that time.Xuexuan,posthumous title Wenqing,later generations are mostly called Wenqing Gong,Qing people regard Xue’s theory as Zhuxue’s development,called "the crown of Neo-Confucianism in the early Ming Dynasty." Although these three people lived a hundred years apart,they were in the "modern times" since the Song Dynasty,that is,the Chinese Ming Dynasty,the Korean Li Dynasty and the Japanese Edo thought stood up in the world.Among the three,Xuexuan was Chinese and lived between Hongwu period and Tianshun period in the early Ming Dynasty;Li was from North Korea and lived from Hongzhi to Longqing in the middle Ming Dynasty;and Anzhai was Japanese,mainly during the apocalypse period of the late Ming Dynasty.However,from the point of view of the degree of promotion of the study of "Taiji map" by these three people,Anzhai,who was in the early stage of Edo,has just begun to explore his thoughts,so if he looks at the development of each paragraph of the thought of "Taiji map" with " Noumenon-world-humanity" or "reason-qi-all things",the tendency among the three is different.This article takes these three people as the research center,does not take the threepeople’s time as the order,but takes the thought in different time and space domain growth ladder,in turn states their three to "Taiji diagram" thought the main understanding,compares their similarities and differences,in order to be beneficial to the whole East Asian NeoConfucianism research.
