The theory of Yi diagrams formulated by Chen Tuan, based on his ideology of Dandao, or Daoist Alchemy, became the mainstream of the interpretation of Yi in the early Northern Song Dynasty, made possible by his disciples and followers. Concurrent with this trend is the revival of Hongfan (or the Great Plan) in concordance with the current political atmosphere, and the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Daoism. The interaction of these two tendencies in intellectual thought has formed a unique phenomenon in the academic development in the Song Dynasty. With focus on the integration and mutual interpretation of the two trends, the present study aims to explore the importance and the influence of the Yi diagrams theory formulated by Chen Tuan, as well as the later generations he had a profound influence upon: Liu Mu, Shao Yong, and Zhou Dunyi. By combing through the integration of Yi diagrams and Hongfan, and through the presentation of Yi diagrams with numbers and philosophical ideas, the study also discusses the academic contexts from which the trend of integration arises, establishes the potential connections of the ideas put forward by these scholars, and makes conclusions about the important meanings and implications their theories convey in the history of Yixue. |
