王安石的元气说

Yuanqi Theory of Wang Anshi

王安石的元气说体现了其治学思想和方式的独特性。元气与道是联系在一起的,道是本体,元气是作用。所以,当王安石阐述元气与冲气的关系也用到"体用"这对范畴时,这里的体用论不是本体论意义上的体用论。五行不仅与物质联系在一起,而且与精神联系在一起,可见物质与精神是同一的。

Wang Anshi＇s Yuanqi Theory reflects his unique style of scholarly thoughts.There is a strong link between Yuanqi and Tao.Tao is the substance.Yuanqi is the function.Therefore,when Wang Anshi elaborated the link between Yuanqi and Chongqi with substance and function,this substance and function could not be that one of Ontology.The Five Elements link with not only the substance,but also spirit.Therefore,the substance and spirit should not be separated.
