Abstract

It is desirable that we deal with our affairs through considering the parts and the whole of them organically like the meaning of the slogan, “Think Globally, Act Local1y” or “Think Global, Act Local”. In a sense we can find the traditional thoughts of the relations between me and the world, the earth and the heaven, me and others, and my place and others and so forth in respect of benevolence of each other. Also in the same sense we needed our internal powers to solve the matter which is internal or external in the era of modern China, and we should have found our internal energies with which we could get the identity of our place as well as that of any places, comparing with each other. In advance the thinkers at the time of modern China belived theory and practice against any affair and matter be united in oneness. As a result there were no boundaries that was good or evil in the appreciation of our bodies, passions and desires, which is natural principle, different from the respect of moral theories. And they kept the doctrine of the inseparability of knowledge and practice to have believed knowledge without practice not to become knowledge. Especially T'an Ssu-t'ung as the thinker and activist in the late of Ch'ing dynasty thought all systems of politics, economy and society should work to be balanced as much as the streams of ki as the quality of the matter flow harmoniously in all things. Ultimately lots of reformers and thinkers in modern China, including Kung zhen-zi and Wei yuan etc., had represented their ideas for giving interconnecting spaces, needed for human beings in the dimensions of globalization, in which the ideas of Yangming School had been used especially since apium war in the earlier of 1840s.
