Liu Shao’s Ren Wu Chi inherits the view of self-cultivation in Yi teaching from pre-Qin texts such as the silk manuscript Mou He, Han Shi Wai Zhuan and Shuo Yuan in Han Dynasty. Two interpretive paths for the Modesty (Qian) hexagram are proposed:“emptiness leads to tolerance”and“tolerance leads to feeling”.“Emptiness”refers to self-cultivation of the mind, while“tolerance”implies openness to others. Modesty and virtue are thus linked to“Xu”(emptiness or virtuality), as seen in the concepts of kuan yu (寬裕) in Han Shi Wai Zhuan and qian yu (謙裕) in Ji Kang’s“Jia Jie”. Only when people and things are free to manifest themselves within one’s spiritual space can true responsiveness arise. This echoes“people and things are inductive”through emptiness, as discussed by Ruan Ji and Yuan Zhun, connecting the“Xu”of the Qian hexagram and the gan (感) of the Xian hexagram, culminating in the Eastern Jin metaphysical debate on gongqian (共謙). |
