Abstract:
ZHANG Zai’s philosophical thought is very original and innovative. This paper studied his unique hermeneutics by means of literature analysis and comparative analysis. The results show that ZHANG Zai’s thought of hermeneutics focuses on “mind solution”, which can be interpreted as the interpretation purpose of “seeking new ideas from the old ones”. By using this new pattern, ZHANG Zai inherited the thought of Confucius and Mencius, and emphasized the need for seeking new ideas from two aspects including reading and seeking truth. “Avoiding ignorance” is the direct purpose of seeking the new ideas, which is advocated by ZHU Xi; ZHANG Zai takes “mind solution makes the truth selfevident” as the interpretation principle. He thinks human mind is the main subject of his “heart hermeneutics” instead of the heaven mind or the earth mind and has two meanings including morality mind and perception mind. The “solution” in “mind solution” means the perceptual ability of human mind. The combination of morality perception and knowledge perception can make the truth selfevident; morality perception ability can influence knowledge perception ability and then promote the unification of sincerity and intelligence. In a word, ZHANG Zai’s “heart hermeneutics” emphasizes not only the universe consciousness of unity of heaven and man but also the cognitive rationality of hot pursuit of the truth. Both of them shows ZHANG Zai’s scholarly research idea and life aspiration, “to succeed the old sages’ immortal theory”. Therefore, his “heart hermeneutics” is not only a cognitive theory but also a practical theory for selfcultivation, which improves Confucian culture from inheritance, creativeness and extensibility, and also develops the sages’ will from the practice of mind and body.
