朱子学理气论域中的“生生”观——以“理生气”问题为核心

Zhu Xi’s View of Life-giving Generativity in the Theory of Pattern and Vital Force——With the Issue of Pattern Generate Vital Force as the Core

由于朱子"理生气"命题不见诸任何现行的朱子文本,故向来对朱子学的"生生"问题缺乏关注。从朱子学理气论域看,其本体宇宙论含有丰富的"生生"理论。而且朱子非常强调"天命流行""天理流行""天理流出"等一系列理学的基本观点,可见朱子学的太极本体具有根源意义上的动力义,而阴阳动静等一切现象必根源于太极本体。由此,"太极生阴阳,理生气"得以成为理论自洽的一套理论命题。朱子学的本体宇宙论采用"生生"观念将太极、动静、阴阳贯穿起来,形成了以太极为核心、集理气为一体的一套天理实体观的哲学体系。

Since Zhu Xi’s Pattern(li)generate vital force(qi)did not appear in any current Zhu Xi’s text,we always lacked attention to Zhu Xi’s view of life-giving generativity(sheng sheng).From the perspective of Zhu Xi’s theory of pattern and vital force,his ontological cosmology contained a rich theory of life-giving generativity.Moreover,Zhu Xi emphasized a series of basic viewpoints such as activity of the mandate of Heaven(tianming liuxing),activity of the Pattern of Heaven(tianli liuxing)and outflow of the Pattern of Heaven(tianli liuchu).It could be seen that the Supreme pivot(taiji)of Zhu Xi’s study had the motivational meaning in the root sense,and all phenomena such as yin and yang movement must be rooted in the Supreme pivot.Thus,Supreme pivot generates yin and yang,Pattern generates vital force could become a theoretical proposition of theoretical self-consistency.Zhu Xi’s ontological cosmology used the concept of life-giving generativity to permeate the Supreme pivot,movement and silence,yin and yang,forming a set of philosophical system of entity of the Pattern of Heaven.
