Li Huang

Korean Won 1000 Front design: Yi Huang, a Confucianist from Li Chao
The latest coin (151mm * 76mm) issued in 1983 has the design of Mr. Tuixi Li Hwang, a scholar representing South Korea, on the front, and Mr. Tuixi Li Hwang on the back, established for his disciples to improve their performance Taoshan Academy The pattern of.
Li Chao, Korea idealism Philosopher, Korea Zhu Zixue The main representative of. At the beginning, it was named Ruihong, with the words Jinghao and Jihao, and the names Tuixi, Taoweng and Tuido. North Korea Anton Wenxi people in Li'an County. He has served as Judge of Li Cao, Reviewer of Art and Culture Museum, Judge of Gongzhou, Governor of Danyang Sicheng , and other official positions such as the university. Because I have witnessed many times“ Scholar disaster ”As a result of the disasters brought to Shilin, he wrote to the king for resignation on the pretext of being weak and old many times. In his later years, he settled down in his hometown, established an academy in Tuixi, and engaged in education and writing. There are "Tuixi Collection" (68 volumes), "Zhuzi Book Festival", "Enlightenment Mystery", "Heart Sutra Interpretation", "Tianpao Tu Shuo", "Four Ends and Seven Emotions", etc.
Philosophically, Li Hwang opposed Israel Xu Jingde Represented by Materialism And rejected Buddhism and Wang Yangming's Subjective idealism , Chongxin Zhu Xi Of Objective idealism He believes that "reason" is the origin and master of the world. If there is no "reason", there will be no heaven and earth, human beings and all things, and nothing will exist. After all, he inherited Zhu Xi's idea that there was a "reason" before heaven and earth, that there was a "reason" before the monarch and his subjects, that there was a "reason" before the father and his son, and that there was a "reason" before the father and son, and that "reason" was regarded as a supernatural, time-space spiritual noumenon, while nature and the whole human society It is derived from "reason", but it is just the expression of "reason".
Li Hwang opposed Wang Yangming's theory of "unity of knowledge and practice" and believed in Zhu Xi's theory of "prophetic action". But he also believes that there are two kinds of human nature, namely, "natural nature" and“ Nature of temperament ”。 From "purity" and "purity refutation" of "temperament", there are "superior intelligence", "moderate people" and "inferior foolishness", that is, people with both "heavenly principles" and "knowledge and action" belong to "superior intelligence"; The person who is "contented but not enough" is a "middle man"; Those who "know ignorance and do evil" are "fools". Li Huang took this as the Li Dynasty feudal society ranking system Of rationality defend. At the same time, Li Hwang believes that although people have the gap of "temperament", the gap can be narrowed and can also reach the position of saints through continuous study and cultivation of individuals.
Li Hwang emphasized the opposition between "heavenly principles" and "human desires", and asked people to abandon "human desires" and obey "heavenly principles". In his opinion, "four ends and seven emotions" are different from "natural principles and human desires". "Four ends" are "heavenly principles", while "seven emotions" are different from "human desires". Because "seven emotions" include two possibilities of good and evil, and "human desire" must be "evil". "Natural justice" and "human desire" are completely opposite and cannot coexist. The purpose of studying and cultivating is to change "human desires" and restore "heavenly principles". Li Huang's view of "reason and desire" reflected the thoughts and interests of the feudal authorities in the Li Dynasty at that time.
Li Hwang's philosophical thought History of Korean Philosophy It has a profound impact on the development of Japanese Zhuzi School.
Li Tuixi is a household name in South Korea. In memory of this thinker, the Korean government printed his head on the 1000 yuan won of the third edition. In addition, Seoul Special city Zhonglu District There is also a retreat road in the north to commemorate him.
