What is metaphysics?

Metaphysics began in Wei and Jin Dynasties. At the end of Han Dynasty, politics was absurd, consorts seized power, eunuchs were dictatorial, and a large number of Confucian scholars, led by Li Zhi, implicated more than 10,000 people. It was the literati at that time who shook the Confucian orthodoxy, so they began to need a new idea and metaphysics was applied. Metaphysics takes the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism as the main ideas, integrates Confucianism, Taoism and Laozi and Zhuangzi, and adds some Buddhist ideas, which has become the thought highly respected by scholars in Wei and Jin Dynasties and pursues "Wei and Jin Dynasties". The romantic life in Wei and Jin Dynasties is a charming and influential personality beauty pursued by Wei and Jin scholars, or an artistic life pursued by them. They use their words and deeds, poetry and art to make their lives artistic.
