Abstract: Zhou Yi is a book about living philosophy.“The great virtue of heaven-earth is life”,and “life is the Yi”.“Fu(returning)is the sight in the mind of heaven and earth”,which is a sentence in Fugua Tuanci.The word “mind of heaven and earth” appears only once in Zhou Yi.Another word is “Ren”(benevolence),which also appeared in Fugua.“Ren” is the key conception of Confucianism.“Mind of heaven and earth” is “Ren”,and also “life”.In some ways,Confucianism is “benevolence ontology”.The expansion of the horizon of “life” problem,the “one Yin and one Yang is Tao” proposed in Zhou Yi,is the so-called “solitary Yang does not live,and only Yin does not grow”,which is the birthplace and secret of cosmogenesis.The whole universe is endless and has its own order,The life and growth in nature proves should follow the rule,“the way of neutralization”.The humanity existing in this universe and as one of the “ways of three talents”,should comply with the order,while be afraid that the order will be broken.The whole humanity should undertake the responsibility of always being with people regardless of good or bad luck,and it is the value and meaning of the existence of humanity.
