Abstract

Zhuxi’ s ‘Dushu(讀書)’ is known as the general method of moral incarnation. The meaning of ‘Dushu’ is not only to study for ‘knowledge’ to get sages’ wisdom in books but also to study for ‘action’ to practise ‘knowledge’. Zhuxi’s ‘Dushu’ has ‘Qiejiticha(切己體察)’ which is a concept to follow ‘the unity knoeledge and conduct(知行合一)’. ‘Qiejticha’ enhances the necessity of study for actions to involve a way of ‘Dushu’ which is a main method of ‘Gewuzhizhi(格物致知)’ in practice. In this paper, the meaning of Dushu is reinterpreted and then the true meaning of Zhuxi’s way of Dushu is examined. This work is also working to ensure that every foster study of Zhuxi’s Dushu implements the orientation of the translational ‘the unity knowledge and conduct’ of cultivating tangibly his foster learning in daily life. This paper begins with an explanation of the meaning of ‘Dushu’ and description of ‘Mind’ as precondition of Dushu. With description of ‘Cunxin(存心)’, ‘Xuxin(虛心)’, ‘Pingxin(平心)’, this work will verify ‘Mind’ which is not for the general effect of Dushu but for the attitude, Dushu is referred as Mind. Also, the attitude is for the system of “Dushu” as a study based on ‘Hanyang(涵養)’. Finally, the character of study on ‘Jujingqiongli(居敬窮理)’ is examined and then the meaning of study of Hanyang as an aspect of the interpretation of Qiejiticha is discussed.
