论蔡清的“以道义配祸福”说

Discussion on Cai Qing's "Morality and Justice Going with Misery and Happiness"

蔡清乃明代著名学者、经学家、易学家,被明清两代学者公推为明代朱子学者第一人。蔡清认为,《易》是以道义配祸福的经书,不同于术数之书,这是对朱熹以《易》为卜筮之书观点的进一步阐发与深化,实属创新之论。

Cai Qing is a famous scholar of both university study and Confucian classic studies in the Ming Dynasty, and he is said to be the top scholar of Zhuism by the learners in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Cai Qing maintains that Yi Ching is a scripture book in which he reveals ＂morality and justice will go with misery and happiness＂, different from alchemic books written by other Confucian scholars--a futher in-depth interpretation of Zhuxi＇ s viewpoints on alchemy.
