Title	The Interpretation of Zhu Xi's
Author	Huang, Ying-nuan
Page	65~92
Abstract	Mr. Tang, Jiun-Yi tries to use “ the pursuit of outer behavior principle to enlighten inner morality (求?外而明?內)” to interpret the “Gongfu(工夫)” of Zhu Xi’s “ko-wu-chih-chih (格物致知)”. He also points out that the “Gongfu(工夫)” of Zhu Xi’s can only be realized through the practice of “xiong-ko-shi-li (窮格事?)” because it is the inner morality not outer behavior principle that matters. So, pursuing “xiong-ko(窮格)” outwardly is not aiming at pursuing knowledge externally but enlightening our inner morality. Mr. Tang emphasizes that the key point of Zhu Xi’s “ko-wu-chih-chih (格物致知)” is to find appropriate ways to cope with every respects of possible life scenarios. The way that Mr. Tang interprets Zhu Xi is not only worth us to further elaborate but also help to demonstrate how substantial and revealing the Zhu-Xi’s theory is.
