The famous prime minister Wei Xiang(d.59 BCE)in the Western Han dynasty(202BCE-8CE)focused on using the practical kingly governance to activate classics.He introduced gua⁃qi(correlating trigrams and hexagrams with the seasonal points)into Changes scholarship,and pushed the transformation of the Changes scholarship in the Han dynasty with Meng Xi(fl.c.50 BCE).He advocated the purposes of kingly governance and life implied in the teachings of“derivation from the pattern of yin⁃yang繇阴阳”,starting from the reverence for heaven,yin⁃yang,the Dao of yin⁃yang,and the protection of life;constructed specific royal governance based on the gua⁃qi theory of the eight trigrams;and introduced the“Zhen[■]governance”,“Li[■]governance”,“Dui[■]governance”and“Kan[■]governance”,which conforms to the rhythm of yin and yang.The classic paradigm is used to guide the transformation of reality,and the reality is activated to establish a classic dimension of reality,making the classic vividly dis⁃play the vitality of the times,transforming the subtle theoretical power into a powerful practical force.He achieved the integration and development of resources such as Shuogua zhuan(Discussion of the Trigrams),Yin and yang of the Changes,and Mingtang yuel⁃ing,demonstrating a distinct character as a Confucian theorist and practitioner.
