Abstract: The real idea of “the unity of man and heaven” is far from being formed in The Analects of Confucius,but Confuciuss attitude towards heaven is clear.He kept a respectful distance from its mystique and acted with respect to its divinity.Reflected in the relationship between man and heaven,it implies a multi-level thought of “the unity of man and heaven”,which specifically includes the three logical levels of “Heavens will and mans inheritance”,“Heavens enlightenment and mans combination”,“Heavens order and mans success”.In the level of “Heavens will and mans inheritance”,heaven is the mysterious heaven that lies outside the activity of mans life; In the level of “Heavens enlightenment and mans combination”,human beings are in harmony with the divine virtue of heaven; In the level of “Heavens order and mans success”,the sacred heaven and human are both verified and achieved.The integration of the three logical levels in the text has laid a foundation for the later thought of “the unity of man and heaven”.Through the inheritance and development of Confucian scholars in later generations,the unique way of thinking of the Chinese nation hao finally formed,and the spirit of taking responsibility of todays China has been achieved,with the courage of rational and positive responsibility,the wisdom of comprehensive consideration,and the joy of voluntary responsibility.
