Abstract

Discussion of this paper are based on the size of Neo-Confucianism in the Dong with a "monolithic" concept of the philosophy of the substrate, and the discussion of the process first by the "Heaven and Man" as a "universal" shape on the grounds, to understand this Dong an icon of thinking about cosmology has the practical effect. Then, then human nature is a good qualitative view of human nature, to confirm Dong unified thinking and enlightenment on the intrinsic relationship between nature. So, finally via the elucidation of the righteous cause of human relations, and the teaching of specific Tsunatsune construction, the turn in the unified way for the government, which is the biggest concern Dong, Cheng-tao, and also his mind into one ideal Governance Road eleven so, the days of the highest authority and the king's man-lun of the pole, is with the direct contact and closing opportunities, and this is equivalent to cosmology inherent meaning and people of London of the acquired meaning, into a consistent nature of thinking in some theoretical difficulties which are evident The scope of this article is founded on the philosophicalness ofthe idea "universal unity" from Dong, Zhong Shu's Neo-Confucianism, and the process of its discourse first metaphysically bases the "universal unity" on the "interaction between Heaven and Man," in order to comprehend the practical effect made by the idea of ​​Dong, Zhong Shu'scosmological diagram. Then we affirm the inner connection between Dong's doctrine of civilization and his idea of ​​universal unity in terms of the view of human nature as goodness. Thus, Dong's most important concern and ideal combination of administration and politics is toachieve the universal unity through the explication of ethics and the practical construction of cardinal guides and constant virtues. Consequently, Heaven as the supreme power and the king of the supreme ethic status have the opportunity to merge directly, that is, to put the natural meaning of cosmology and the acquired meaning of ethical civilization into an consistent and essential thinking, of which the theoretical difficulties are evident
