Definition of Lian
1. "Cheng Yuan" is an ancient philosophical concept of China, which refers to the original substance that produces and constitutes everything in the world. Yuan, through "original" and "beginning" ("Shuo Wen"), refers to the origin of everything in the world. In the history of ancient philosophy in China, the theory of vitality is a kind of world view for people to know nature, which can be traced back to Lao Zi's Tao, basically formed in Song Shuo and Yin Wen's Theory of Mind and Nature in the Warring States Period, developed in Wang Chong's Theory of Vitality Nature at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and Yuan Qi Ontology advocated by Zhang Zai in the Northern Song Dynasty. The theory of primordial qi takes primordial qi as the basic substance of the world, and explains the emergence, development, change and extinction of all things in the universe with the movement and change of primordial qi. This simple materialist philosophy occupies an extremely important position in the history of ancient philosophy in China, and has a far-reaching impact on the development of natural science. As a view of nature, the theory of vitality is a general understanding of the whole material world. Because human life activity is a special form of material movement, the primitive energy theory not only gives a materialistic explanation to the production of all things and various natural phenomena, but also puts forward a simple view on the origin of human life and related physiological phenomena. The understanding of human life based on vitality theory is vitality theory. The theory of vitality has greatly promoted the formation and development of the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine and qigong.
2. Indian Buddhism, which originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty, spread widely in the North and South after Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. In order to make China people understand and accept it, China's traditional Confucianism and Taoism have long been valued, so Buddhists have made great efforts. For example, An Shigao in Wei and Jin Dynasties, Daoan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Zongmi in the Tang Dynasty and other Buddhist masters all said that all things can be born, but the basic idea of Buddhism is "emptiness" and "heart", which emphasizes that "mind gives birth to all laws" and "all laws are empty", so the original energy can only be under "emptiness" and "heart". Therefore, Buddhism is a semi-vital theorist, and the concept of vitality is only a link in his ideological system.
The theory of vitality of Confucianism and Taoism was challenged and impacted by Buddhism more and more seriously in the Tang Dynasty, but this theory and belief were not lost in the tide of Buddhism. On the contrary, she was not only maintained and promoted by Taoism in the Tang Dynasty, but also became the theoretical cornerstone for Neo-Confucianism to crush the Buddhist ideological system after entering the Song Dynasty, which made Buddhism lose its dignity in the ideological circle and its social influence gradually declined.
