Abstract

This for, to present the ideas and effort on the Cheng Yi-shaped theoretical argumentation pattern of focus for the writing and work and learn in the way the theoretical significance of Dayton's instructions. Argumentation in metaphysics, the author of the first two sub-ontology and ontological issues that the discussion of different approaches. Cheng Yi, said the fate of, the nature of the good, the ontological discourse on human nature is good, in this sense naturally inherited in the Confucian Cheng Yi Yong Yi has always been discussed. Cheng Yi said intrinsic evil of a gas source, this claim is the Confucian theory of human nature is good theory and solve the phenomenon of the plight of the way cut off, and Zhang Zai's creative direction, in fact, Confucianism is an important issue official said the achievements of good and evil. Construction process is the first analysis of the most creative ontological structure of the moral subject of his to good for the heart to love I want to be evil intended to air all that good to keep the heart of the definition of the concept, so that it can continue to request for good practice in the main driving force, although by definition this says reluctantly, but keep the master of the heart for good practice righteousness is indeed in line with the Confucian theory of the position requirements. More on this, the development process Dayton said in the past few centuries of ontological ideas of love, is his most creative contribution of Confucianism. Kung Fu theory, Cheng Yi Jing talk to the main body of martial arts, is a thorough effort on a thorough body under the theory of argumentation complete. Youyi interpretation of inquiring that made ​​an emphasis on the intellectual grasp of objective environmental conditions, learning objectives, and implement the will of the subject will be up to the next martial arts school on the theory, in fact, both the reality and the ideal of a more complete effort theory. Finally, Cheng Yi to life as a matter of concentric heaven said, the completion of his total body effort of coherence received teachings, his theory has been shown Chen satisfactory state. Note Cheng Yi Yi, emphasis on "Book of Changes" holy scripture as the cultivation of a gentleman's sense of release set for the teachings of Confucianism and easy way to understand the meaning of writing classic, and has in fact fully into his theory of metaphysics and the theory of effort, contribution ambitious. Cheng-Yi was a great Confucian philosopher at North-Song dynastic. This article is going to reevaluate his contribution on the Neo-Confucianism. Historically Cheng-Yi's thought was connected to Chu-Hsi's philosophy. Under Chu-His's powerful creative system Cheng- Yi's philosophy become not so brilliant. Chu-Hsi's philosophy is in some degree been misunderstood to leave away from the Confucius and the Mencius' tradition caused by his too much ontologically concern. And this also become the figure of Cheng-Yi today. This article tries to present the creative ideas brought by Cheng-Yi and emphasizes the contribution of Cheng-Yi himself instead of Chu-ilsi and the ontological concern of the Confucian theory developed by Cheng-Yi and Chu-Hsi is the theoretical necessary of the Confucian school not to away from it. Cheng-Yi constructed his philosophy through the study and the interpretation of the Book of Changes and built the ontological theory and the practical theory. His discussion about the concept definition of the Ren and Ai and telling the Ren is a kind of abstract principle the Ai is a kind of felling was his most creative idea. The author wants to classif, this kind of discussion to be the ontological thinking instead of the practical thinking. This kind of thinking was followed by Chu-Hsi who constructed an even larger system of the ontological theory of the Confucianism. In the practical theory part, Cheng-Yi emphasized that people should know the environmental situations at first and then chose the correct method to better the society. And he asked people should purify their mind through a respect attitude when doing anything. The former idea is traced from the Great Learning and the later idea is inherit from the Book of Changes and the Mencius. Cheng-Yi also did a great work to interpret the Book of Changes. His main position about the book was claimed that 1-Ging is basically a book about the education of human nature. People by reading it will get the knowledge of the social affairs and the ability to judge the things are right or wrong. This is also the ideas of the Appendices of the Book of Changes
