  Honours seminar: Week 6
Chu Hsi's proposal for community granaries accords with his ideas about ordering families and cultivating individuals, and can be seen as a symbol of his concept of reform.
Chu may not have seen it like this, but moral shih were needed not only as an example of how to live morally, but to allow poor commoners the chance to live properly by protecting their subsistence both through the community compacts and the community granaries.
Chu maintained that the means to a good society (and included in this outcome would be the welfare of the masses) came in the form of a few leaders enlightened as to their duties and responsibilities.

 Chu Hsi
Chu Hsi (1130-1200 CE) became the acknowledged exponent of Neo-Confucianism, which combined the traditional values of Confucianism with a metaphysical theory of humanity’s relation to the universe.
Chu Hsi saw human nature as perfectly moral, deriving from the law or principle of the universe (expressed as descending from heaven).
However, Chu Hsi believed that morality could be clouded by the physical element, or material force, inherent in matter and in the mind.

 Chu Hsi and Divination
Chu's fundamental problematic, the basis of all his intellectual concerns, was the possibility and the difficulty of attaining sagehood by means of self-cultivation.
Chu Hsi refocused attention on the practical use of the I as a manual of divination, reinterpreting this ancient ritual in terms of his theory of mind and incorporating it into his religious-philosophical system.
Chu Hsi's contradictory statements on whether ghosts and spirits were "regular" aspects of the pattern of the way should not obscure the fact that he consistently describes them in terms of the pattern of yin-yang change.

 Chu Hsi and his principle of wisdom as hidden and stored
The essence of Chu Hsi's thought can be summed up in two phrases: "total substance and great functioning" and "wisdom as hidden and stored." It is his thinking on the latter that gave rise to a unifying philosophy that is both profound and significant.
Chu Hsi believed that unless effort is made to preserve the mind, it lapses into chaos and unintelligibility.
Chu Hsi considered the first four as all true, and declared that it was redundant to include truthfulness as a separate entity, thus reiterating the doctrine of the Four Virtues as originally advanced by Mencius.

 Chu Hsi's Ethical Rationalism
Chu Hsi, following the footsteps of his predecessors in the early Sung period, went beyond the scholarly pursuits of the Han scholars in his attempt to revive and reinterpret the ancient Confucian moral ideas and ideals in the light of new situations and needs, as he saw them.
The second phase of Chu Hsi's synthesis is that of the humanistic morality of Confucianism with the non-humanistic morality of Buddhism and, to a certain extent, of Taoism.
Chu Hsi's main point of criticism is that the Buddhists' having made such a grave error of identifying hsing and hsin is a logical result of their misconception of reality, which is ontologically real but is fallaciously viewed by them as non-existent.

 Toward The Ecumenical Unity of East and West: The Renaissances of Confucian China and Christian Europe
Chu Hsi developed and used the concept in a manner analogous to Plato's concept of the eternal "Ideas." Leibniz noted that Chu's concept was similar to his own notion of the "monad." Lyndon LaRouche has developed his own notion of the "thought-object" as analogous to the historically specific concepts of Plato's Ideas and Leibniz's monads.
Chu's interpretation meant that the final source in the entire sequential process necessary for successful government was the scientific investigation of the Principle of all things and phenomena in society and in the physical universe by the individual.
Chu Hsi agreed with Mencius that the nature of man was good, but he clarified this in order to combat various "Manichean" ideologies which used the Taoist yin-yang dualism to posit the equal existence of good and evil in the universe.

When Chu Hsi took the office of the prefect of Nan-k'ang Commandery in 1179, one of the first things he did as prefect was to revive the White Deer Hollow Academy.
Chu Hsi says, "From the most essential and most fundamental about one-self to every single thing or affair in the world, even the meaning of one word or half a word, everything should be investigated to the utmost, and none of it is unworthy of attention.
Since the Tokugawa shogunate officially recognized the Chu Hsi school as the orthodoxy in Japan, it seems to be a paradoxical fact that none of the Japanese Confucianists that theoretically gave rise to the disintegration of Tokugawa Confucianism belonged to the Wang Yang-ming school.

 Chu Hsi's Li-Chi Concept of the Universe
Chu Hsi's universe is a universe of material Ch'i or energy permeated through and through by immaterial Li, or T'ai Chi (Li of Lis).
Chu Hsi even taught that every thing or particle in the universe is permeated by the whole of T'ai Chi which he portrayed as Jen (Humanity or Love), the guiding principle of all things.
Further, just as Chu Hsi indicated that these Uncreated Universals can be discovered in the Four Books of China, we Christians believe that they can be discovered even more clearly and abundantly in the divinely revealed Word of God, in particular in the Four Gospels.

 Session 104   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Although Chu proclaimed that Chou apprehended the Confucian Way without a teacher and passed it to Cheng Hao and Ch’eng I, Chu’s claim was based on scant evidence, and some of Chu’s contemporaries regarded Chou as having been influenced by Taoism.
Chu later became attracted to Hu Hung’s teaching: since the Way required active moral practice, principle should be sought in the active mind.
But Chu was never satisfied with practical solutions that could not be grounded in metaphysics and cosmology, so he turned to Chou’s discussion of activity and stillness as interpenetrating yin-yang phases of cosmic processes.

And in man this principle, Chu argued, was identical with the human nature (hsing) heaven had endowed in him at birth.
