Abstract

"Mind," An Analysis of the Warring States period is an important philosophical topics, the Confucian Yi nationality in order to "self-proclaimed" and "Five Elements" was showing the most "heart", "sex" issue of discussion. "Mind" as a philosophical thesis put forward, relies instead on the first act, re-transmission of up Confucian disciples and disciple, "heart" "sex" "Love" as a philosophical concept, sometimes mixed, "Mencius" will be the "heart" and today the so-called 'love' mix, resulting in the "end" and the Great, between the works of the emotions associated with the moral heart and mind can think of. "Heart" to think, is that experience, but more discussion is the focus of the Warring States thinkers, mind and matter was related to the consensus of scholars, but how relevant is a different discussion, "tube" in the "heart - things "exposition, mainly up and down, other four, which made ​​the" Mencius "conscience different, stressing that" Italy - shape - to know "the effect, the" heart "is a receptivity of the heart, focusing on its "virtual subject." Mind in the development of science in the Warring States Confucian Yi nationality and "Mencius", "tube" formed between a four affect each other but Qichu discussion, Guodian Confucian simple "self-proclaimed 'temperament was showing for the heart An Analysis, also notes that "objects" of the existence of "matter" is a influencers; "five elements" to emphasize a moral of the "heart" may; "Mencius' discussion of the" five elements "have inheritance relationship;" tube "four for" objects "of the note, in addition to Taoism factors, in the in the" heart "and" knowledge " and it seems the relationship with the" five elements "related. The discussion of "Xin Xing" was an important philosophic topic in the Warring States. Among the Confucian excavated documents, Xing-Zi-Ming-Chu and Wu-Xing best presented the proposition of "Xin" and "Xing". When "Xin / Xing "first discussed as a philosophic topic, it was about the conduct of oneself. Then it passed on to Confucius' disciples and followers; at this time ideas of" Xin "," Xing "and" Qing "were mixed up. In the book Mencius, "Xin" was interpreted as the idea of ​​"Qing" at the present. From the original benevolent nature to the accomplishment of morality, the mind of sensibility and the mind of thinking both related to morality were developed. The ability of Mind to think referred to the experience, which was also the focus of the discussion in the Warring States. That Mind and Object were interrelated was commonly accepted at the age. However, how they interrelated each other resulted in different opinions. The discussion of Mind and Object in Guan-Zi demonstrated in the chapters' Nei-Ye, 'Bai-Xin', and 'Xin-Shu'. It differed from the idea of ​​morality in Mencius while it stressed on the function of "Yi-Xing-Zhi "Here Mind was regarded as a vessel which could contain everything. In the development of" Xin Xing "in the Warring States, the Confucian excavated documents, Mencius, and Guan-Zi influenced with each other while constructed different thesis at the same time. The Confucian document Xing-Zi-Ming-Chu excavated in GuoDian presented the interpretation and the analysis of "Xin", "Xing" and "Qing" It also noticed the existence of Object, which was an influence. Wu-Xing stressed on the possibility of Morality in Mind. The view of Mencius inherited from Wu-Xing. The interpretation of Object in Guan-Zi involved Taoist elements while the interrelation of "Xin" and "Zhi" was connected to Wu-Xing in the chapter 'Nei-Yi'.
