Abstract

The Guodian bamboo texts appear to suggest that the notion of the division between Humans and Heaven is a basic precept of early Confucianism, with a discernible influence on Mencius. Mencius differs from Xunzi, whose concept of the division between Humans and Heaven is inherently more complex, and which scholars in the past have often taken a simplistic view of. Mencius and Xunzi both propounded ideas of the division as well as the unity of Humans and Heaven, but they differ in specific terms on practical levels.
