论蔡清对河图洛书的阐释

On Cai Qing's Expositions of Hetu and Luoshu

明代理学家蔡清的《易经蒙引》虽以义理见长,但并不忽视象数,也不否认易图,《太极图说》与《河洛私见》就是蔡清探索象数易学的代表作品。河图、洛书是宋以后象数易学研究的重要内容之一,蔡清《易经蒙引》与《河洛私见》在对河图、洛书的阐述中,提出不少的真知灼见,其主要观点有:河图是《易》之祖宗、河图之数尽是天地之数、河图是太极之全体、河图洛书中蕴含着"阴主静而守其常,阳主动而通其变"的太极之妙。

Although Ming Dynasty Neo-Confucianist Cai Qing＇ s The Enlightenment ofl Ching at- taches great attention to Neo-Confucianism, it does not ignore image-numberology or deny Yi Diagrams. Tai Chi Diagram and Remarks on Heluo are Cai Qing＇ s representative works to explore image-num- berology and yi-ology. Hetu and Luoshu are one of the important contents to study image-numberology and yi-ology after the Song Dynasty. Cai Qing put forward a lot of insights in his description of Hetu and Luoshu in The Enlightenment ofI Ching and Remarks on Heluo. His main view is： Hetu is the ancestor of The Enlightenment ofI Ching. The principle of Hetu is the principle of heaven and earth. Hetu and Luoshu contains the essence of Tai Chi that ＂Yin advocates tranquilization and keeps the fundamental law of things development, and Yang advocates action and follows its changes＂.
