| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 中國文學研究所 === 106 === Researches on Luo Jin Xi(羅近溪) can be divided into three topics: (1) Feeling “ren”(仁) by the vitality in body. (2) Gongfu theory(工夫論) about returning to the Ontology. (3) His theory focuses on practice and ethics. Based on the above three aspects, this research will discuss the thoughts of Luo Jin Xi by focusing on “the relationships between heaven and man”(天人關係) and, “the relationships between body and mind.”(身心關係)
Jin Xi understood the Ontology through the actual state of mind and body. Jin Xi inherited Yang Ming(陽明)''s statement of "conscience”(良知) and incorporated Wang Gen(王艮)''s statement about "the body" and produced a new theory. This study discusses key concepts in Jin Xi''s theory, such as "Tianxin”(天心), "the Heart of a child”(赤子之心), and " Xiaotici”(孝弟慈). From these discussions, it is found that everything are the same thing in Jin Xi ''s theory.
Jin Xi used the "Tianxin" as the core concept of the Ontology theory, the Treatise of Human Nature(人性論) and the Gongfu theory. The Ontology is the driving force for everything. This driving force has become Human Nature and makes people reflect on themselves. In reality, "Tianxin" will be reduced to "Renxin”(人心), so Jin Xi proposes "the heart of a child" to connect the "Renxin" and "Tianxin". “The heart of a child" is different from the "Tianxin" because of the appearance of "Shape of a person”(形體). Jin Xi divided the "Shape of a person" into “Xingse”(形色) and "body". "The heart of a child" means a state which the "body" is controlled by "Tianxin". In the state of "the heart of a child", "Shape of a person" is as same as "Xingse(形色)". However, if people don''t practice, they will lose "the heart of the child."
“The heart of a child" contains the natural feelings of “Xiaotici". This kind of natural feelings is given to human beings by “Tian(天)”, and it is the basis for a person to be a saint. After all, Jin Xi established the theory that "Tianxin" is the Ontology. And, His Gongfu theory is the way to recovery to the state of "the heart of a child" and remains it.
