  • The aim of this paper is to elucidate ancient Chinese philosophy and linguistics through the concept of the Dao. Ancient Chinese thought had developed together with ancient Chinese theories of language and the linguistic features of Classical Chinese. The concept of the Dao served as an intermediary among them. The Dao which ancient Chinese philosophers sought for has several characteristics: ethical normativity, wholeness, dynamicity, non-reducibility. Linguistic studies also revealed them. The following linguistic features of Classical Chinese are the cause and/or the effect of such Dao-based philosophy and linguistics: No explicit subject-predicate sentential structure, no parts of speech, heavy reliance on the word order and context for meaning determination, no explicit distinction between compound words and a sentence, the pictographic or the ideographic features of Chinese graphs, and non-existence of a copula.

  • Ancient Chinese philosophy has had a profound influence on Chinese clothing culture. The researchers reviewed five ancient Chinese philosophical thoughts on Chinese clothing culture. The results show that they had different view of point. The Confucianism advocated "being elegant and refined in manner". Dong Zhongshu believed "Interaction between heaven and mankind is the center of Dress rules". Mohist insisted "Clothing should meet warm first, and then seek for beauty ". Taoism believed "Although a gentleman wears coarse clothes, he has gem in his chest". Legalism believed "Clothing should focus on quality rather than decoration". These philosophy thoughts all have had a profound influence on Chinese clothing culture.

  • The so-called "Needham's Grand Question" (NGQ) can be formulated as why modern science was developed in Europe despite the earlier successes of science and technology in ancient China. Numerous answers have been proposed. In this review, it will be pointed out that traditional Chinese natural philosophy (TCNP) and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) are in fact dealing with problems of highly complex dynamical systems of Nature and human beings. Due to the lack of mathematical machinery in dealing with such complex phenomena, a holistic approach was taken by ancient Chinese instead. It was very successful for the first eighteen centuries. In the recent three centuries, however, the reductionist and mechanistic viewpoints of Western natural philosophy, sciences, and medicine have been prevalent all over the world up to now. The main obstacle in preventing the advancement of TCM, TCNP and its sciences is actually the lacking of proper mathematical tools in dealing with complex dynamical systems. Fortunately, the tools are now available and a "chaotic wave theory of fractal continuum" has been proposed recently. To give the theory an operational meaning, three basic laws of TCNP are outlined. These three laws of wave/field interactions contrast readily with those of Newton's particle collisions. Via the proposed three laws, TCM, TCNP and its sciences can be unified under the same principles. Finally, an answer to NGQ can be accurately given. It is hoped that this review will help promoting a genuine understanding of natural philosophy, sciences, and medicine in an ecumenical way.

  • We determine the observing sites for eclipses of large magnitude recorded in ancient Chinese chronicles from 200 BCE to 900 CE, by adopting the difference between terrestrial time and universal time, ΔT, given by Morrison & Stephenson (2004). The records of solar eclipses with large magnitude are divided into four groups in accordance with the historical variations of the capital cities of ancient Chinese dynasties. We determine areas in which all the eclipses in each group, with an eclipse magnitude larger than a certain threshold value, could be observed. We find that these areas coincide with the historical capitals, which agrees with the general idea that the solar eclipses were observed at the capital of each dynasty. This result also verifies the ΔT values during the period from 100 BCE to 400 CE, during which historical records of eclipses are so rare that the ΔT values can only be obtained by interpolating the long-term data. Moreover, we show that the eclipses described by the term Ji in East-Asian history are not all total eclipses; their mean magnitude is 0.96 ± 0.04. We find that complementary expressions, such as dark daytime and appearance of stars during the eclipse, strengthen the possibility that eclipses described by the term Ji were total. We also provide quantitative definitions for expressions such as 'being not complete and like a hook', 'being almost complete', 'visibility of stars during the eclipse', and 'darkness during an eclipse.' The literal meanings of these expressions are in agreement with the recent physical modeling of sky brightness during total eclipses provided by Können & Hinz (2008).

  • The abstract should summarize the contents of the paper and written below the author information. Use the word "Abstract" as the title, in 12-point Times New Roman, boldface type, italicized, centered relative to the column, initially capitalized, fixed-spacing at 13 pt., 12 pt. spacing before the text and 6 pt. after. The abstract content is to be in 11-point, italicized, single spaced type. Leave one blank line after the abstract, and then begin the keywords. All manuscripts must be in English. When it comes to the issue of "virtual and real" in traditional Chinese painting, the first impression is to describe the problems of painting strokes and ink, layout of pictures, etc., but it runs through the initial conception of the work, creation in the middle and aesthetic appreciation of the work. It exists in the whole process of artistic creation and appreciation. In essence, it is a problem of aesthetic thinking and philosophical thinking. Because the traditional Chinese painting theory is influenced by Taoism, when the concept of "virtual and real" is implemented in the specific picture of Chinese painting, it is contained in the specific shape of "physics", that is, the painting theory research of "blank space" in the picture. Based on the traditional Taoist philosophy of China, this paper takes the "virtual and real" view in Lao Zhuang's thought as the research object, deeply analyzes and compares its relationship with the "virtual and real" in Chinese landscape painting, and finds out their artistic spirit, essential characteristics and how to present them. This paper mainly discusses the internal relationship between Taoist philosophy and "virtual and real" in Chinese landscape painting from the following aspects. The introduction expounds the origin, purpose, significance, innovation and research methods of the topic. This paper analyzes the philosophical thoughts about landscape in the philosophical thoughts represented by Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi. The development of Chinese traditional aesthetics theory is closely related to Taoist philosophy, which has laid the foundation and pointed out the direction for the development of Chinese painting theory since ancient times. It also discusses the influence of the Taoist philosophy of "the combination of the virtual and real" on the emergence and development of the artistic conception of landscape painting. Firstly, through the analysis of the artistic conception of landscape painting and its constituent factors, it is pointed out that the artistic conception is affected by the personality and the painting artistic conception. Secondly, through the Taoist thought of "the combination of the virtual and real" in landscape painting, so as to reflect that it is the source of the artistic conception of Chinese landscape painting. It is the unique spiritual concept of "Yin and Yang" and "virtual and real" that creates the unique "blank space" aesthetic realm of Chinese painting in the composition of the picture. Finally, it focuses on the "nothingness" in Taoist philosophy and the "blank space" in Chinese landscape painting. The connotation of the "blank space" in Chinese painting exceeds its own expressive significance, which makes the picture form the aesthetic principle of emotional blending, virtual and real combination and dynamic and static integration. Through the "blank space", it deepens the artistic characteristics of the picture and sublimates the expression of "form" in Chinese painting.

  • 토가족(土家族) 모고사(毛古斯) 춤은 상서(湘西) 토가족의 오래된 하나의 의식무(儀式舞)이다. 이는 인물, 대화, 단순한 스토리와 일정한 연출의 격식을 갖춘 일종의 원시적 춤이다. 또한 이는 중국 무용계와 연극계 전문가들로부터 중국 무용, 연극의 가장 원초적이고 살아있는 화석으로 인정받고 있다. 본 고는 철학, 종교학, 인류학 및 민속학 등 다각도에서 모고사(毛古斯) 춤의 원시 숭배 표상 뒤에 담긴 상고 시대에 남긴 여러 가지 정신 기호와 문화적 함의에 대해 해독하도록 하고자 한다. 이 여러 가지 정신 기호는 즉 자연 숭배, 토템 숭배, 조상 숭배와 생식 숭배이다. 그 강렬한 원시 숭배의식은 모구스춤의 공연과정의 시종에 내포되어 있으며, 그 행위와 정신 이념은 결코 미신과 봉건적인 행위가 아니라, 토가족의 풍부한 역사문화, 풍속과 정신내용을 진실하게 반영하고 있다. 이러한 원시적 생태의식이 살아서 번성해온 진정한 원인을 탐구하고 모고사(毛古斯) 춤에 덮인 베일을 벗기려 함으로써 우리에게는 이 두터운 역사를 담아낸 예술 형식의 깊은 내면을 더 잘 이해할 수 있도록 도와준다.

  • Zhang Jie Bin had a lot of influences on the oriental medical world to write Lei Jing(類經) and Lei Jing Tu Yi(類經圖翼). His oriental medicine is based on profound philosophy. In this thesis, he understand the thousand year of chinese philosophy of ancient times in the reign of Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasty and his view of the world which is revealed in Oriental Medicine is regarded as Qi(氣) and then Li(理) is considered not an object for a special purpose but an attribute of Qi(氣). The base which a debater is able to suggest like this is that because of his saying that Tai Ji(太極) is Yin and Yang(陰陽). The basis of his world is Qi Yi Yuan Lun(氣一元論) of Yin Yang Wei Fen(陰陽未分)

  • 이 논문은 혜시(惠施) 철학이 '천지일체(天地一體)'를 지향하였으나 끝내 그에 이르지 못한 철학이라는 저평가를 바로잡고자 기획되었다. 이를 위해서는 혜시 철학의 연원과 '천지일체'에 도달하는 혜시만의 독특한 방식을 규명해야 하는데, 이의 관건이 등석(鄧析)에게 있다고 보았다. 그래서 우선 혜시 철학의 연원에 관한 이제껏 분분하였던 다양한 견해들을 살피고 그것들의 한계를 지적하였다. 다음에는, 등석이라는 새로운 대안에 주목하였다. 등석에 대한 탐구는 현존하는 "등석자(鄧析子)"의 두 편명인 '무후(無厚)'와 '전사(轉辭)'에 함축되어 있는 의미를 중국 고대철학사의 맥락에서 논구하는 것으로 이루어졌다. 그 결과, 등석의 '무후'가 상고(上古)시대로부터 춘추말기(春秋末期)까지 절대의 준거였던 상제(上帝)와 천(天)이 인간사에 더 이상 개입할 수 없는 무효(無效)의 존재로 전락되고 말았음을 상징한다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 '전사'는 인간들 사이에서 생겨난 문제를 천명(天命)이 아닌 인간의 명변(名辯), 혹은 생각 또는 말로써 해결하겠다는 의식의 반영임을 보았다. 끝으로 이러한 등석의 사상으로부터 혜시 철학의 연원과 '천지일체'에 도달하는 혜시만의 독특한 방식의 해명을 시도하였다.

  • 본 연구는 서비스철학 정립을 위해 동양 주류사상의 서비스철학성을 분석하였다. 선행 연구인 한국 대표 사상의 서비스철학성 연구에 이어, 동양 주류 사상인 중국과 인도 사상의 서비스 철학으로서의 정합성을 탐색하였다. 서비스철학의 기존 기본구조와 운용모델을 심화하여 제시하고, 동양 주류사상의 서비스철학성을 도출하였다. 동양 주류사상은 중국사상과 인도사상으로 대별할 수 있다. 인도는 고대 사상이 중심이고, 중국은 고대 및 중세사상을 포괄하여 분석하였다. 서비스철학은 서비스의 구조에 대한 사상, 서비스의 운용에 대한 사상 등으로 제시될 수 있는데 기존 연구를 심화하였다. 서비스의 본질적 특성은 관계성, 쌍방향성, 수평성, 조화성인데 이를 반영한 서비스구조는 유무상생, 즉 제품과 서비스의 상생구조임을 제시하였다. 또한 서비스의 발전과 운용원리는 정반합의 기본 운용구조를 가지되 그 운용사이클이 신속하고 발전적임을 밝혔다. 중국과 인도를 중심으로 동양 주류사상의 서비스철학 부합성을 제시하였는데, 중국 사상은 춘추전국시대의 대표 사상인 도가 유가와 묵가를 분석하고, 후대의 신유학과 외부에서 유입되어 발전된 중국 불교 사상까지 분석하였다. 인도 사상은 고대 베다의 철학사상, 우파니샤드의 철학, 대표적 불교철학들을 중심으로 분석하였다. 중국과 인도 주류 사상의 큰 흐름에서 서비스철학과의 부합성이 뚜렷하게 나타남을 보였다. 중국 도가의 무 사상, 유가의 정명론과 인 사상, 묵가의 겸애사상, 인도 바가바드기타의 카르마요가 사상, 불교의 연기사상 등이 모두 서비스 구조 및 운용 철학과 부합한다. 향후 서비스철학의 구조와 운용원리를 보다 구체화하고 큰 사상으로 발전시키기 위한 후속 연구들이 필요하며, 그리스 로마 및 독일 철학을 중심으로 한 서양 대표사상의 서비스철학 부합성 연구도 필요하다. 궁극적으로 미래 경제사회 발전을 견인하는 사상적 기반으로서 서비스철학 정립이 필요하다.

  • In this article, the concept of body fluid is explained in three aspects: the word meaning of body fluid, the origins of the definitions of the body fluid concept and the connotation and extension of body fluid. Investigating data about the time Hwangjenaegyeong(黃帝內經) was written, the author discovers that the meaning of "Aek(液)" is clear, but there are still questions about the meaning of "Jin(津)". The concept of body fluid derived from observation of life phenomenon and ancient philosophy on the "water". The concept of body fluid should be expressed as that body fluid is a general term for all normal liquids in the body. Within the meridians, as the composition of blood components; outside the meridians, constituting the intrinsic body fluids of various organs and tissues. This is the main part of body fluid, coming from diet, constituting the human body and maintaining human life activities, playing the roles of moistening and nourishing various of organs and tissues of the body. In addition, Interstitial fluid, all kinds of normal liquid secretion and metabolic products, such as sweat, tears, nasal discharge, saliva, slobber, gastric juice, intestinal fluid, urine, joint fluid, latex and so on, both belong to body fluid.
