The issue of human nature is one of the important propositions in the history of Chinese philosophy and thought.Lianxi takes"Zhongzheng","Zhonghe",and"Taihe"as the core categories,main characteristics,and ulti-mate destination on the issue of human nature,and based on this,he has made efforts to connect up and down.His theory of human nature is up connected to the original essence of Tai Chi"Taihe",which is both existing and active,down connected to the work of virtue cultivation,which is has not yet developed or has developed"Zhongzheng Zhongjie",and has thus expanded into an ethical and political system arrangement of"Zhongzheng Renyi".It can be said that heaven and man are in harmony,that both inside and outside are interconnected,that the essence and end are both included,and that Ti coexists with Yong(the intrinsic law of the nature of the thing coexists with the external manifestation of the law of nature).Lianxi's theory of neutrality has made a unique contribution to the Confucian theo-ry of human nature,especially deeply influencing the Huxiang school,giving Huxiang school a unique theoretical characteristic.
