The author has chosen as theme the development from desire to Yu with the intention to explain both the physical and mental sides of the Yu Theory. By analyzing Zhu Dan-Xi’s “Ge Zhi Theory”, he hopes to deconstruct the internal compositions of the physical and mental developments from desire to Yu, thus demonstrating the unique view point and characteristics of Zhu’s Yu Theory and the meaning it presents for modern society. In addition to the “Diet Admonition” and the “Sensual Admonition”, there are another 43 chapters in the Ge Zhi Theory. As every chapter deals with a different topic, and the various sections are not coherent, nor share an overall structure, the average reader tends to tire easily as the gist of the text can be difficult to grasp. Hence, out of the four translated versions of the Ge Zhi Theory of the Japanese Edo period, the author uses Okamoto Ipo’s translation and interpretation “General Interpretations of the Ge Zhi Theory” as key reference. |
