The paradigm of dialectical materialism dominated the studies of Wang Fuzhi's philosophy since 1920s in China.Based on interpreting the two concepts of qi(气)and matter(器)of his philosophy,some scholars thought that Wang's philosophy is materialism.This view exerted significant influence on the philosophical studies on Wang at home and abroad.On the basis of reaffirming the general meaning of"materialism"and re-storing the true connotations of qi and matter,this paper claims definitely that neither qi nor matter is equated to matter in Marxism.The view that regards Wang's philosophy as materialism is actually a misunderstand-ing.The main reason for this misunderstanding is the over-reliance on the materialism of Marxist philosophy in the study of Wang's philosophy,which has led to the loss of subjectivity in research.In order to address this issue,it is necessary for scholars of Wang's philosophy to take the initiative to study Wang's philosophy,not relying on Marxist philosophy.This is not only an inherent requirement for the study of Wang's philoso-phy,but also a new requirement presented by the times.
