碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 中國文學系 === 102 === Discussing the relationship between “Chi” and “Spirit”, through Chang Tsai’ “Chi”, can find that Chinese culture is a kind concept of “One thing has two bodies” in body and spirit theory. They are not unrelated. Taoist and Confucianism also have the concept to use “Chi” for the material to set up the world, and then they also have the thinking habit to consider the world is a successive unity. But their caring of “humanistic” are different. Confucianism affirms the world is a morality field, and the source of human morality also comes from heaven, and the “Chi” is a key for cultivating one's moral character. Taoist performs “Tao” through surging “Chi”, and also has scare of “dividing”, and wants to return to “Tao” by any time. And then Chang Tsai’s “Chi” not only affirms material’s valuable, affirms the integration of “Chi” and “Spirit” as a basis for human subjectivity’s standing upright, but also performs a kind of confidence for humanistic, and a kind of steady conviction without fear, staunch spirit to face reality’s hardship and danger, in the process of Chi's gathering and scattering.
