Abstract

Abstract:

Owing to Zhu Xi' s and some other scholars' high praise the important position of the two classics, The Great Learning and The Doctrine of the Mean, was more strongly consolidated than ever before. Zhu Xi creatively carried on and developed these two writings from some fundamental statements and epistemology of natural philosophy, thus exerting a far - reaching influence on the Song - Ming Neo - Confucianism and even later Chinese philosophy.
