How did Wang Fuzhi invent his "the only thing in the world"?
In the late Ming and early Qing
dynasties, thinkers represented by Wang Fuzhi
comprehensively summarized and criticized Neo-Confucianism in Song and Ming
Dynasties. Wang Fuzhi put forward the view that
"the world only has utensils". Wang Fuzhi
affirmed clearly that there is only one entity in heaven and earth. The unity
of Tao is not in the principle, but in the organ. Instruments are the
foundation of the Tao. Wang Fuzhi pointed out that
under the influence of Zhu learning, people have actually accepted the view
that "without the way, there is no way" and acquiesce to it as their
theoretical premise, thus preventing them from reaching the more important
conclusion that "without the way, there is no way".
"Without its tools, there is no
way" is also expressed by Wang Fuzhi as
"there is no way outside the world". Although both Wang Fuzhi and Zhu Xi advocated that Tao should not be separated
from each other, they took completely different positions on the basic issues
of respecting Tao and valuing Tao. Wang Fuzhi
analyzed and said: There are two ways to unify the Tao organs: one is the
father and the son, such as Zhu Xi's Li Qi, one can die and one can exist, so
that the Tao organs are divided; The second is the synchronic use of the body,
such as the eyes and ears in intelligence. Only one can be saved, so it began
to keep the unity of the Tao.
How does Dai Zhen explain
the device "up and down"?
Dai Zhen, nearly a century later than
Wang Fu, also made a profound reflection on the problem of the upper and lower
Tao device. He pointed out that "Tao" and "Qi" should be
used to explain what is metaphysical and physical, not the other way around.
Of course, Dai Zhen did not make this
judgment explicitly, and he mainly pointed at Cheng Zhu's "differentiation
of Li Qi". Therefore, the only reasonable explanation of "under
metaphysics" is that "form" is the meaning of forming quality.
Metaphysics is the gasification of Yin and Yang before forming, and the form is
the concrete thing after condensation forming. From the "Qi" to see
is metaphysical, from the "form" to see is the form downstream. A
device is an immutable thing, in which the Tao exists and cannot be separated
from the Tao. Although Dai Zhen is a critic of Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism, his
interpretation of Shang Xia with "before and after" is also a
critical inheritance of the criticized.
Dai Zhen's philosophy has re-defined
the metaphysical problems, which indicates that the ontological research of ancient
philosophy has gone through the last course. The dominant tendency of the
ancient Chinese metaphysical view of the lower is the unity of the upper way
and the lower device, but there are different views on the differences between
the upper and the lower.
