王夫之“阴阳向背”说的本体意义

On the Ontological Significance of Wang Fuzhi's Theory of the Facing & Backing of Yin and Yang

王夫之阴阳十二位向背是根据乾坤并建之体的性质及体用一源的原理引申、推论出来的,他用这一原理来批评象数学的机械排比和框定,并用事物的自然自足、自立自全的性质,证明《序卦传》的三种卦序说不能成立,为自己独特的卦序说奠立基础。他要证明的哲学原理是,显现有向背,阳阳无或缺;本体所具有的性质与功能,同时就具于个体之中,个体因此而有了主体性、能动性,和自由地独立活动的品格。

Abstract： The theory of the facing ＆ backing between the 12 yin and yang positions asserted by Wang Fuzhi （ 1619-1692） is based upon his dual emphasis on both Qian （ symbolizing Heaven） and Kun I symbolizing Earth） and deduced from the idea that substance and function share the same origin. He draws on this idea to criticize the mechanical permutation and fixation of the image-numerology and takes use of thing＇s self-sufficiency, self-independence and self-all-inclusiveness to testify the untenablity of the three orders of the hexagrams manifested in the Orderly Sequence of the Hexagrams and underline his own unique system of the hexagrams ~ order. The philosophical principle he would like to demonstrate is that the manifest possesses facing and backing, yin and ycmg are indispensible, the quality and function of the substance simultaneously dwell in the individual and at the same time the individual gains its subjectivity, activity and independency.
