It has a historical position in the history of Confucianism in China. Huang Baijia once commented: "After Confucius and Mencius, Chinese Confucianism only studied classics, and Taoism was naturally silent for a long time. With the rise of Yuan Gong, the second generation inherited, great scholars came forth in large numbers, and saints learned. Therefore, stability and formation are almost the normal state of Confucianism. It can only be said that it is necessary to open up first. If we talk about the exquisiteness of the interpretation of mind, nature and righteousness, we can count the darkness in A.D. ("The Song and Yuan Learning Cases of Lianxi Learning Cases"). This comment is fair.
According to historical records, there are "dozens" of his philosophical works, and only two books, Illustration of Taiji and Shu Tong, have been handed down. Illustrated with pictures and pictures, Taiji Illustrates its cosmology, the relationship between man and nature, and cultivation methods, and puts forward a series of neo-Confucianism essentials, which has a far-reaching influence in the history of China's philosophy. This is Zhu Yuan's public collection.

Notes on the title or background of a book.
See Joo Won?'s Public Collection. By loving and praising the lotus, the author expresses his noble sentiment of complete self-love and being different from the common customs, and shows contempt for those who strive for fame and gain in the world.

The flowers of land and water plants are very fragrant. Tao Jin Yuanming loves chrysanthemums alone; Since Li Tanglai, everyone loves peony; Love lotus alone, dirt-free, clear but not demon. Straight outside, not crawling, fragrant and clear. It is slim and elegant, so you can look at it from a distance without looking ridiculous.
Want to call chrysanthemum, the hermit of flowers; Peony is a precious flower; Lotus, the gentleman of flowers. Hey! The love of chrysanthemum flowers is rarely heard after Tao; Who gave the lotus love? Peony love is suitable for all ages!

Infinity and tai chi. Tai Chi moves to generate yang, moves to be extremely quiet, and static generates yin, while static moves to be extremely quiet. Motion and stillness are the roots of each other; Divided into yin and yang, two instruments stand. Yang turns to yin and makes fire, water, wood, gold and earth. The five gases are distributed smoothly and the four seasons are awkward. Five acts of yin and yang, yin and yang are Tai Chi, and Tai Chi is infinite.
The birthdays of the five elements are also different. Infinite truth, the essence of 25, is wonderful and condensed. "The avenue becomes a man, and Kun Dao becomes a woman." Two gases are born together, and everything is endless.
It's just that people should be beautiful and most spiritual. Metamorphosis, God knows, sex is divided into good and evil, and everything is destroyed. The sage decides to be just [self-note: the sage's way, benevolence and righteousness are just], while the main static [self-note: no desire, so static] can stand the extreme.
Therefore, saints "are in harmony with heaven and earth, the sun and the moon and their light, the four seasons and their sequence, ghosts and gods and their blessings." A gentleman cultivates his blessings, while a villain is fierce. Therefore, the way to establish heaven is yin and yang. The way to stand on one's feet is to be soft and firm. The way to establish a person lies in benevolence and righteousness. " He also said, "First goes against the end, so we know the saying of life and death." Great, easy, and the best!
