Abstract

The correlation between and Human is a basic proposition in Chinese philosophy, which is typically reflected in Yi Zhuan. The concept of Heaven in Yi Zhuan contains multiple connotations such as the nature, natural law, idea, the Supreme Being, yang Qi etc., with its logical intensions mixed and extensions indefinite. The heaven in Chinese philosophy has never obtained its philosophical form. Its heaven is not a pure philosophical concept, but a pre-- philosophical concept. As a matter of fact, the stem concepts such as Qi, Dao, Li (idea) etc. have similar philosophical properties as the heaven. So, it is necessary for the academic circle to discuss whether it is possible for Chiners philosophy to have Philosophical concepts.
