A Probe into the Concept of Nature in Huainanzi——Centered around the"Yuan Dao Xun","Zhu Shu Xun","Xiu Wu Xun",and"Tai Zu Xun"
The concept of nature,as an important ideological concept in the book Huainanzi,is profound and sys-tematic.In terms of generative dimension,Huainanzi weakens the cosmic generative significance of"Dao"directly deri-ving all things,and instead emphasizes its ontological value,indirectly affirming the self-generation and self-existence of all things;In terms of the dimension of transformation and education,Huainanzi redefines the"gods"and"two elements of Yin and Yang",affirming the autonomy and self-determination of the movement of all things;In terms of value dimen-sion,Huainanzi reduces all things in heaven and earth to the"number of principles"according to their natural existence state,emphasizing that humans should follow nature.At the same time,in order to reconcile the contradiction between"inaction"and"action",Huainanzi fully draws on the Confucian ideas of ritual and music education,objectively promo-ting the development of Taoist natural concepts.
