"The Unity of Heaven and Man" is a classic proposition about the relationship between heaven and man in China's ancient philosophy.
The relationship between heaven and man is a basic problem that philosophers must face and think about, and its key lies in the understanding of "heaven". In the primitive society where human wisdom was not civilized, China ancestors regarded "heaven" as a god with will. The basic meaning of primitive witchcraft is the communication between man and nature. Fuxi invented gossip in the Book of Changes, which was originally intended to "communicate the virtues of the gods and the feelings of all things". ?
The proposition of "harmony between man and nature" is based on the communication between man and nature. By the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the role of witchcraft in people's social life had faded. At this time, the focus of people's attention has shifted from "heaven" to people, and the mythical color of "heaven" began to fade, and began to turn to the relationship between nature and human beings.
