The Ming Dynasty Neo-Confucian philosopher Luo Nian'an's school of thought underwent"three changes",and his final philosophical tenet was"Shoushebaoju".This proposition had a profound background in the study of the Book of Changes(I Ching).He transformed Shao Yong's Xian Tian Tu(Diagram of the Original Nature)into a portrayal of the prevalence of the mind,arguing that the vitality of heaven and earth originated from"returning to stillness through reversal,"and that moral cultivation also prioritizes"Shoushebaoju."Based on his congenital theory,Luo Nian'an be-lieved that the juncture between the hexagrams of"Bo"and"Ru"was where the essence of the mind manifested,endo-wing the mind with profound and inscrutable meanings.Meanwhile,he also used the hexagram of Gen to illustrate the mind's integration of stillness and sensation,movement and stillness,as well as internal and external aspects.Drawing from the thinking pattern of"returning to stillness through reversal,"Luo Nian'an vigorously developed the previous Neo-Confucian practice of"washing the heart and retreating into secrecy."He combined the concept of"Gen bei"with the"reaching the utmost of goodness"from The Great Learning,and interpreted the art of"Shoushebaoju"through the study of"Zhiji".Through this,he explained the uninterrupted nature of the efforts and dedication to self-cultivation.
