Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Yijing thinking has become an important subject of debate in the field of classical teaching. The work attracted general attention in the interpretation and argument of classical books at the time that it was first written. This study investigates the interplay between Confucianism and Buddhism under the cultural atmosphere where Buddhism was gradually spreading to the East, as well as to observe how scholars and monks cited Yijing to explain the principles of Buddhism from the aspects of metaphysics, interaction between heaven and mankind, the idea of time and position, and methodology. This study assumes that the work contains “religious metaphors”, that result from the religious context of the the proponents of Buddhist philosopy. That is, during strategy application and rational reflection, the writers might associate with and thus trigger analogies of contextual imagination and interpretation. In addition, the main objective of such metaphors was not to explain Yijing, but rather, they were developed to meet specific problems arising during the argumentation process. Argumentation involves the possibility of interaction and exchange of roles between two parties during conveyance and interpretation of messages. Therefore, investigators themselves are “authors” that convey messages, as well as “readers” that interpret messages. Metaphors as the nature for understanding activities are developed during the interaction of interpretation activities. Therefore, the analysis of such argumentation activities found that the complexity of interplay among citation, understanding, and application of theoretical contexts exceeds the one-way, planar, and simple relationship between “tenor” and “vehicle” in rhetoric. Therefore, this study cites contemporary “metaphorology” to use and extend the concept of “domain,” as well as to use the “spatial” pattern hidden in the concept of “domain” to show how language context, knowledge systems, and academic tradition interact with one another in thinking activities of the argumentation process to observe the application of Yijing to the interplay between Confucianism and Buddhism from multiple perspectives. This study consists of five sections: 1) metaphysics and Immortal Soul; 2) Holism and Life conservation; 3) the positional distinction of Zhouyi and monastic ritual; 4) idea of time and karma; 5) “getting the meaning” and Buddhahood. |
