How to understand Wang Anshi's theory of "the nature of emotion"?

Wang Anshi's theory on the use of natural feelings: firstly, the undeveloped heart is the sex, and the already developed heart is the emotion, and the "temperament is also". Love as the publication of sex, if "forget desire" "waste love", the sex itself will not be able to show, only the result of ruthless grass and wood stone can be good.

The second is that good and evil depend on social evaluation. As far as sex is concerned, it has nothing to do with good and evil. Good and evil are people's evaluation of whether the happiness, anger, sorrow and joy from outside accord with the social value system, while the criterion for judging good and evil lies in people's benevolence, justice and moral norms. That good and evil are socially formed, not innate. At the same time, social moral evaluation is meaningful only when it is directed at specific emotional activities

Third, good and evil are caused by habit. Wang Anshi also combines Confucius's "similarity of nature" with "distance of learning", but his focus is on "learning". Wang Anshi not only emphasizes the acquired nature of good and evil acts, but also highlights the variability of judgment of good and evil. He evaluates people not for a while but for the whole life. In the history of Chinese human nature theory, Wang Anshi defined the nature with distinct and consistent viewpoints, which is of great significance.

What kind of theory is Zhang Zai's "changing temperament"?

The key point of Zhang Zai's theory of human nature lies in "changing temperament". He believed that the good is not only that people follow the way of heaven, but that the way can be reflected in their own moral practice is sex. Although people are not born into the nature, "the nature is not into the mix of good and evil." The so-called "following good into nature" is actually a process of transforming good and evil into a mixture by manpower.

Zhang Zai puts forward the problem of mixing good and evil in the absence of sex, explaining that there are two possibilities for the development of human nature to develop towards good and evil, and the focus is on the acquired moral creation. That is, only in this diligence and indefatigable, can we expect to achieve good. "Good and anti-evil" is actually the elimination of evil. The nature of temperament is a mixture of good and evil, but people can remove evil and get rid of evil by learning the time of kindness and rebellion.

The relationship between the nature of heaven and earth and the nature of temperament is, in the final analysis, one of wholeness and partial. Whether it is "good and anti" or "changing temperament", it does not negate the existence of temperament materially in terms of the value of qi. Temperament is the basis of human nature. To deny temperament is to deny human existence itself, so it is impossible. The completion of the changing temperament means the perfect unity of the inner value experience and the outer ritual.
