What is metaphysics? What is metaphysics?

Metaphysics, originally a Taoist term, refers to a philosophical trend of thought with Laozi as the research core in Wei and Jin Dynasties. The word "Xuan" comes from a sentence in Laozi, "Xuan is both mysterious and mysterious, and it is the gate of Wan Qi".

Metaphysics, that is, "Metaphysics", is based on "Ancestors Tell Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi", and Laozi, Zhuangzi and Zhouyi are called "San Xuan". The significance of metaphysics in Wei and Jin Dynasties refers to both words and deeds, and most of them are profound. "Xuanyuan" refers to the ontological problem of "transcending words and images" and staying away from concrete things.

Therefore, emptiness, metaphysics and knowledge of metaphysics can be called metaphysics. Metaphysics scholars were mostly celebrities at that time, and the main representatives were Yan He, Wang Bi, Ruan Ji, Ji Kang, Xiang Xiu and Guo Xiang. There are two schools of metaphysics: noble and pious. The appearance of metaphysics greatly promoted the development of China's philosophy.

The development of metaphysics has gone through different stages. According to Justin, a historian in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xia Houxuan, Yan He and Wang Bi were official celebrities at that time. Ruan Ji, Ji Kang, Dan Tao, Xiang Embroidery, Liu Ling, Ruan Xian and Wang Rong, the seven sages of bamboo forest, are famous bamboo forest people. Pei, Wang Yan, Yu, Wang Cheng, Ruan Xiu and Wei are famous figures in the Western Jin Dynasty. Metaphysics can be divided into three stages.

Metaphysics, in terms of its philosophical category, can be called metaphysics. "Metaphysics" is simply abstraction, and metaphysics is to explain and develop some abstract contents in a vivid way. Metaphysics in Wei and Jin Dynasties is a highly speculative philosophy, which pays more attention to the discussion of abstract theory and needs to be expressed through a series of philosophical concepts and the logical relationship between them.
