| Abstract |
In Cao-Wei Zhengshi period, the atmosphere of idle talk is popular. All doctrines in Pre-Qin are openly discussed and developed. The academic core at that time is to communicate Confucianism and Taoism. In Yi researches, Heyan and Wangbi quote Laozhuang to lead to Yi, which is somewhat participation Hyun. Guanlu doesn’t think it right to discuss only essence and discard shiangshu（象數）. His Yi comes from the Pre-Qin to Han Dynasty plus Yin-yang, divination etc. and is included in the system of Shushushi（術數系）.In the Zhengshi discussions, he doesn’t focus on Being, Non-being or natural norm but on the changes of Yin Yang, the five elements and auspicious omens. But when it comes to academic idle talk, Guanlu is often overlooked. During the transference of Wei-Jin dynasty, he isn’t involved in political storms and remains unharmed and respected owing to his Yi and being practical with the times. He shows those who are puzzled and hesitate a magnanimous way through unusual fortune-telling methods, thus being beneficial to common people. He is talented but not in an important position, which is a great pity to those who know him well. This essay is to analyze Guanlu’s academic role and position he deserves in the Zhengshin theory.
