Abstract

There are both correspondence and difference between ‘shi (是)’ in Chinese and ‘to be’ in western languages. The idea of “Right and Wrong” as a value derives from the holy meaning of the original “shi (是)” as demonstrative pronoun, which has been taken as Seiende as a metaphysical idea. Again the metaphysical idea “shi (是)” is from the characteristic of copula of the more original “shi (是)”, which is a pre-metaphysical idea as Sein itself. And again the most original idea “shi (是)” or “shi (时)” is Chinese nation's original “comprehension and explanation of existence.
