When did metaphysics come into being?

Metaphysics is the main philosophical trend of thought in Wei and Jin Dynasties, and it is a cultural trend of thought produced by the integration of Taoism and Confucianism. It can also be said that Taoism is a new way of expression, so it is also called new Taoism.

The original meaning of the word "Xuan" is a deep red color that is almost black, so Xu Shen's Shuowen is interpreted as: Xuan, you are far away. The word "Xuan" comes from Laozi's Tao Te Ching. "Xuan is both mysterious and mysterious, and it is deep and subtle. The origin of the name "Metaphysics" is precisely because the speakers in the Wei and Jin Dynasties called three books Zhouyi, Laozi and Zhuangzi, so the name "Metaphysics" came from this.

Metaphysics is a theory opposite to science, which answers questions that human beings know western science cannot answer. The guiding ideology of this knowledge is a way of thinking in eastern philosophy, and we should try our best to take it as a guide in the study of nature and western science, thus producing constructive discoveries and achievements.

Metaphysics is also a science, and its academic nature cannot be measured by the scale of modern and contemporary science.

Metaphysics and science have essential differences in the methods of problem research. Metaphysics is studied by pure explanation, while science is studied by verification. Because of the purely explanatory thinking characteristics of metaphysics, there is great randomness in metaphysics research, and the results may be varied. As for the results that are really close to the truth, there are very few, but this does not affect the existence of metaphysics as a science.

Metaphysics, a trend of thought advocating Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi that appeared in Wei and Jin Dynasties in China, generally refers to metaphysics in Wei and Jin Dynasties. The concept of "Xuan" was first seen in Laozi: "Xuan is mysterious and the door to all miracles." Wang Bi's "A Brief Introduction to Laozi" said: "The deep one is also deep." Metaphysics is a theory to study profound problems.
