相对概念之调适

相对之原理见于大易“一阴一阳之谓道”。阴阳,宇宙相对之二大动能也。此两种相对不同之势用,互为消长、依存,推动宇宙、人生,乃有今日之大千世界。凡事物皆有正反两面,故有利则有害,有是则有非;利害同一体也,是非同一体也。于生死、寿夭、成败、得失莫不皆然,宇宙万有无不在相对原理之中,人则茫然而不知,此易学之妙用也。本文特举相对概念之大者：一曰善恶,二曰是非,三曰祸福,四曰生死,五曰寿夭,六曰得失,七曰贵贱,八曰黑白,九曰荣辱,十曰利害,十一曰忧乐,十二曰正反。此十二曰,争议之大者,而论其所以自处之道,欲人不堕入相对之迷雾中而无以自拔也。综上十二项皆物论争议之大者,执相对之两端而纷纷不息,则世界永无宁日,不如泯绝相对之概念以归于中和。孔子所谓“执其两端,用其中于民”,不仅人类和平共存,则天人亦和谐无间矣。

Modulation of the Concepts of Contradiction

The principle of contradiction dwells in the Proposition of "the successive movement of Yin and Yang operation constitutes what is called Dao". Yin and Yang constitutes an integrated two contradict energies. The two kinds of energy's mutual growth-and-decline and mutual dependence push forward movements of the cosmos and human's life. This action constitutes the boundless universe. Taking good-and-evil, right-and-wrong, good-and-bad fortune, life- and-death, longevity-and-dying young, gain-and-loss, noble-and-humble, black-and-white, honor- and-disgrace, advantage-and-disadvantage, anxiety-and-happiness as Well as positive and-negative as examples, this paper expounds functions of Yin and Yang to exhort people not to go to extremes, unable to extricate themselves, but live harmoniously with the universe.
