The evolution of Chen Zhan's thought theory and the transformation of Ming-Qing Philosophy
JI Douyong
Abstract：The evolution of Chen Zhan's school of thought is not confined to a single direction of merging with Wang Yangming's school of thought as indicated in"Ming Ru Xue An"(Cases of Ming Confucians).Chen Zhan's school of thought is closely interconnected with various schools such as Wang Yangmings',Cheng Zhus',Guanzhongs',Donglins',Jishans',and Nanyuans',displaying a multidirectional transformation.Its trend is moving towards an early enlightenment thought,with naive materialism as its core and theories of natural human nature and practical learning as its two wings.Chen Zhan's school of thought is one of the main forces of China's early enlightenment thought.The pattern of its evolution is highly coupled with the turning point of Ming-Qing philosophy,clearly revealing the clues to the rise of early enlightenment thought.
