What thoughts were mixed with the popular metaphysics in Wei and Jin Dynasties?

Metaphysics, which was popular in Wei and Jin Dynasties, combined Confucianism and Taoism.

Introduction to Confucianism:

Confucianism is one of hundred schools of thought's theories in the pre-Qin period. Confucianism has the characteristics of openness and tolerance, and Confucianism has the characteristics of practical application. Duke Zhou and three generations of rites and music were the pioneers of Confucianism in later generations, and Luoyi, the place where Zhouli was formulated, was the ancestral home of Confucianism in China. For thousands of years, it has been highly praised by Confucian scholars in past dynasties. Confucianism, also known as Confucianism or Confucianism, was founded by Confucius and has far-reaching influence.

The connotation of Confucianism is rich and complicated. On the basis of absorbing the essence of ancient books and periodicals, it gradually developed basic theories and ideas, that is, emphasizing unity and emphasizing the monarch, minister and father. The essence of Confucianism includes pre-Qin Confucianism, Confucius' benevolence and ceremony, the ritual and music system in the pre-Confucius era, Confucius' benevolence and ceremony, Confucius' benevolence and ceremony and so on.

Introduction to Taoist thought:

Taoism, an ancient school of thought, can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Taoism discusses the relationship between nature, society and life with Tao. Taoism advocates that Taoism is natural, governing by doing nothing and living in harmony with nature.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Laozi collected the great wisdom of ancient sages, summed up the essence of ancient Taoist thought, and formed a complete and systematic Taoist theory, which marked the formal formation of Taoist thought. His theory regards "Tao" as the highest philosophical category, and holds that "Tao" is the highest truth in the world and "Tao" is the origin of all things in the universe.

Main classics of metaphysics in Wei and Jin Dynasties:

1, Zhouyi

Originally a book of divination, it is a classic of Confucianism, but it involves the changes of everything in the universe, which is very philosophical and easy to communicate with Taoist thought. The development after the confluence of Han Dynasty and Huang Lao thought was highly valued in Wei and Jin Dynasties. At that time, there were many annotations in Zhouyi, but Wang Bi's Annotations to Zhouyi, Zhouyi Simple Examples and Zhouyi Dacheng Lun were the representatives.

2. Lao Zi

Taoist thought basically focuses on the discussion of individual subjective mood practice, emphasizing what the world is seen by individuals in practice, and rarely pays attention to what the objective universe is, but this is not completely unrelated to the discussion of the existence of the universe. Laozi is the most fundamental classic of Taoism, and metaphysical scholars in Wei and Jin dynasties attach equal importance to it.

In Laozi's view, "Being" and "Nothing" are both manifestations of "Tao". Through the interpretation of Laozi, Wang Bi showed the characteristics of Taoism from all levels. For example, from the relationship between ontology and phenomenon, it shows that human spiritual realm should pursue infinity, transform the original theory into ontology, and put forward a series of problems such as body utilitarianism and human nature.
