Abstract

The aim of this paper is to search for the cosmological background around the funerary Rites of Chu Hsi’s Family Rituals, to study an order-aspect of family member focusing on Classified Conversations of Master Chu. Because of an order-aspect of Chu Hsi’s family rituals and the background of cosmography theory belong to all of volumes of chu Hsi’s family Rituals, it is enough to analyse in case the funerary Rites. The background of cosmographical theory through an order-aspect of Chu Hsi’s family Rituals is drawn the ancient theory of canopy Heaven and enveloped Sky, this paper is examined about the structure of the Earth and the Heaven, the theory of celestial movement in the Classified Conversations of Master Chu. It is 4 kinds of an order-aspect, There are up and down, arrange, out and in, directions. At this point is what a clue not to seize on in the former research, is compared to theory of yin and yang, without concrete order-aspects. On this account, an order-aspect of Chu Hsi’s family Rituals is construed as not only theory of yin and yang, but also scientific viewpoint as called 氣phenomenon. A methodology of this paper is started with in these respects. An order-aspect of family member enveloped dead in the funerary Rites through the idea of directions of Chu Hsi’s family Rituals is to be high rank, in which is based on the cosmography of ‘天包於地’ centered the Earth. In South-Song period, Chu Hsi has developed cosmology, to deny the ‘theory of rotating rightly’ by 曆家, to feel satisfaction the ‘theory of rotating leftly’ by zhānghéngqú(张横渠). So Chu Hsi’s cosmology could be not explained which is not ‘theory of 理氣’. Therefore this paper would understand in the cosmography, the sky rotating to the left and moon and Sun are to rotate to the left go after Sky.
