“天人合一”观早期发生历程

天人合一观渊源较早 ,在颛顼以前的远古时代 ,中国先民就有明显的“神人交通”观念 ;“绝地天通”以后 ,神人交通观念便过渡为以神化王权为实质的“天王合一”观念 ;至春秋时期 ,天王合一观念在天人思想中的主导地位又逐渐为哲学意义上的“天人合一”观念所取代 ,其间老子和孔子起了重大作用。老子从天道观的正面奠定了哲学天人合一观的宇宙论基础 ,孔子从人道观的侧面奠定了哲学天人合一观的人生论基调

Developing Process of Early View of Unanimity of Heaven and Man

The view of unanimity of heaven and man formed at a very early stage in Chinese history.In remote antiquity before ZHUAN Xu,Chinese ancestors had already the apparent view of communication between god and man.After “breaking off the way to heaven”,the view of communication between god and man tranferred to the one of “unanimity of heaven and man”to deify the king's right in essence.In the Spring and Autumn period,the idea of unanimity of heaven and man was gradually replaced by one with a philosophical sense,in which LAO Zi and Confucius played an important role: LAO Zi layed a fundation of universe theory for it from the positive aspect of heavenly laws,and Confucius established a theory of life for it from another indirect aspect of humanitarianism.
