What influence does metaphysics in Wei and Jin Dynasties have on today's society?
In terms of its prevailing times, metaphysics can also be called metaphysics in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Metaphysics was born in Wei and Jin Dynasties and prevailed in Sui and Tang Dynasties, which was closely related to the society at that time. In short, Wei and Jin Dynasties was the period of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. When we watched the three countries stand upright, we would hit each other, and I would hit you later. If we lived in that era, it is conceivable that people and intellectuals at that time always felt precarious, so talking about theory easily became the main activity in the society at that time, in order to temporarily meet the spiritual world and avoid such cruel reality. There is a sentence that can sum up the characteristics of metaphysics: the spirit of Sui and Tang Dynasties and the character of Wei and Jin Dynasties.
The combination of these two reasons is doomed to metaphysics, which has a mysterious and profound side and also has the function of satisfying the spiritual world and comforting the soul.
Later, the connotation of metaphysics was continuously expanded and enriched by later alchemists. There are five systems, including mountain, medicine, life, divination and phase. The ideas of these metaphysical systems are borrowed from the Yin-Yang theory in the pre-Qin period, but these ideas are not directly borrowed, mainly because of the rise of Taoism in the Han Dynasty. When perfecting our own ideological system, we not only quoted the Tao Te Ching as a classic, but also enriched the Yin-Yang theory and the five elements of morality, so metaphysics has a very deep relationship with Taoism.
Mountain contains the secrets of cultivating the mind, nourishing the nature and exercising the body, which includes three parts: the practice of metaphysics, health preservation and cultivation of secrets.
The Xuandian has the deepest philosophical color, which mainly integrates the thoughts of military strategists and legalists with the ideas of Taoism, forming the theory of Huang Lao in later generations, and using this to understand the mysteries of the universe and the functions of the human body. And health preservation is qigong and Taoist alchemy. The secret-repairing method includes spell method, pressure method, star praying method, martial arts, etc., which uses sports and the unity of spirit and idea to improve the physical and mental realm. There are also occult sects that divide mountains into five methods: fairy learning, Taoism, illusion, imperial spirit and battle array. And its scope does not depart from the above three parts.
The impact on today's society is nothing more than the development of the five systems of mountain, medicine, life, divination and physiognomy.
Don't you see that there are health books, health techniques, health classes, dietotherapy, divination, horoscope, yin and yang houses, planning institutes and masters of Chinese studies all over the streets?
