Abstract

This study’s purpose is to explain the transformation of Yang-ming studies based on structural Similarity of the Qi-theory(氣論) of Zhang Heng-qu(張橫渠) and the Liang-zhi theory(良知說) of Wang Yang-Ming(王陽明). This study understood that the essence of Song-Ming Confucianism is to build a Moral Metaphysics. In this respect, this study judged that the Liang-zhi theory of Wang Yang-Ming had improved with the help of the Qi-theory of Zhang Heng-qu. Actually, the Qi-theory of Zhang Heng-qu explains human nature based on ‘Qi(氣)’ which composes objective the Phenomenal World and tries to suggest it’s ethical meaning. Meanwhile, the Liang-zhi theory of Wang Yang-Ming develop Liang-zhi theory with focusing the moral real intention as subject of moral practice and tries to build moral theory which form the Unity as Liang-zhi(良知). In this regard, the study system of Zhang Heng-qu and Wang Yang-Ming shows some methodological differences. But in essence of Song-Ming Confucianism and building of Moral Metaphysics view, Zhang Heng-qu built a moral metaphysics which became the unity by going through ‘Tian-dao(天道)’ and ‘Xing-ming(性命)’ with a emphasis on the same of the universe creation’s law of nature and human nature’s moral principles. Wang Yang-Ming made an human’s moral original substance of a Liang-zhi and built of Moral Metaphysics which made oneself and all creation into a Liang-zhi through the effect of moral original substance. In this respect, the essence of Song-Ming Confucianism of Zhang Heng-qu and Wang Yang-Ming could say that it have concurred with each other. Also, this study understood that the Liang-zhi theory of Wang Yang-Ming is a Psychological variant the Qi-theory of Zhang Heng-qu in that accepting the Zhang Heng-qu’s ‘Tai-xu(太虛)’, ‘Qi(氣)’ and ‘Ti-yong(體用)’ when Wang Yang-Ming established the Liang-zhi theory. So, this study concluded that the Qi-theory of Zhang Heng-qu have a strong influence on Wang Yang-Ming in establishing his creative Liang-zhi theory.
