"象思维"视野下的"易道"

"易道"的根本在于,观物取象,并进而在象的流动与转化中洞察出卦象,由卦象以尽意."象思维"的本质在于"非实体性",而这种非实体性使<周易>的象思维具有"原发创生"性,并且表现出与西方实体性的概念思维本质不同.从原发创生的视角观之,历史上和今天关于卦爻之象数与卦爻辞哪个根本的问题,可以归结为原发创生的"筑象"过程."原发创生",就是无极而太极之生,是"无中生有"和"有中见无"之生.

The "principles conceived in Yi" under the vision of image-thinking

The fundament of the Duo conceived in Yi is: through observing things from which to extract images, and then to see clearly the trigrams on the basis of the rotations and transformations between the images, and finally attain the Idea by the images of trigrams. The essential of the image-thinking is manifested as its non-substantiality, which makes the image-thinking of Zhouyi possess original creativity and exhibited with different quality from western substantial conceptual thinking. By the angle of the original creativity, the issue of which is more fundamental between the images and remarks affiliated to the hexagrams could be seen in the process of "constructing images" in the original producing and reproducing. Original creativity denotes the producing from Wuji (Non Ultimate) to Taiji (Supreme Ultimate) , a producing within which non-existence produces existence and non-existence dwells in existence.
