Zhang Xianglong is an important figure in contemporary Chinese Confucian studies,and he uses the unique method of "survival-structure phenomenology"(that is,the method of returning to the realm of meaning occurrence to analyze),starting from the three core concepts of "meaning","temporality" and "family ontology",he has made a new interpretation of the Confucian kinship relationship,revealing the essence of Confucian parent-child love.This paper first examines Zhang Xianglong’s understanding of the mechanism of meaning generation and its new method of analysis of returning to the realm of meaning occurrence,revealing Zhang Xianglong’s interpretation of the original realm of meaning occurrence and the mechanism of yin and yang occurrence proposed by him.Secondly,from the perspective of Zhang Xianglong’s temporality,this paper interprets the emergence of filial piety consciousness,the mutual composition of parents and children,and the integration of filial piety and human nature.Starting from Zhang Xianglong’s three keywords in parent-child time,it is necessary to highlight the temporal characteristics of his interpretation of the process of "parenting",namely survival time,generation time and yin and yang time.The relationship between "kinship" and "time" should be the explicit mutual construction in the original realm,and the biological fact of pregnancy and childbirth as the origin mechanism of meaning makes the original kinship emotion appear,and the phenomenological pure occurrence and pure composition are always implied in the temporality of the realm of meaning occurrence,which is the mechanism of parenthood as the original realm,and the parent-child love composed of temporality is the ultimate meaning gyration realm.Finally,Zhang Xianglong’s idea of "family structure" on which the origin of relatives is based is analyzed.Zhang Xianglong enters the survival time and intergenerational time in the family relationship transmitted from parent-child parenting,attaches importance to the preservation of kinship love and traditional family,and proposes the meaning generation mechanism of the family ontology that includes generational time with human survival time,that is,"intergenerational time".Zhang Xianglong’s systematic interpretation of the Confucian idea of "kinship" reflects his profound grasp of phenomenological methods and unique insights into traditional Confucianism.He analyzes the relationship between time and meaning from the retrospective of the original meaning,connects the parent-child relationship with the source of meaning,and starts from the interpretation of filial piety consciousness,pointing out that the source of human life experience lies in the original family,re-emphasizing the importance of family and filial piety,and emphasizing the importance of parent-child love to reconstruct modern family ethics and family culture.This innovative interpretation not only clarifies the meaning mechanism in parent-child relationship,grasps the temporal characteristics of kinship,but also raises kinship to the origin of meaning,emphasizing the concept of family ontology in intergenerational time.The study of Confucianism from the perspective of Zhang Xianglong’s phenomenology is to return to the interpretive context and interpretation direction of Chinese philosophy itself,which is conducive to getting rid of the Western philosophical paradigm.He uses the phenomenological concepts of temporality and meaning to highlight the experience of filial piety in the parent-child relationship of Confucian "kinship",and the revelation of the source meaning and modern value of the preservation of Confucian culture and its ethical order by "kinship love" provides a new interpretive paradigm for the creative transformation of Confucianism.
