Abstract:Wang Chuanshan opposes the view that “Quan” and “Jing” are opposite to each other, and thinks that “Quan”can not be defined as “anti Jing”. At the same time, in view of the malpractice of “violating common sense, being reasonable, and still correct”in moral practice, he proposed that the exercise of power should “not change morality”, and clearly opposed the “mechanism conspiracy” behavior. Chuanshan regards the relationship between “Jing”and“Quan” as a kind of relationship between body and function, and holds that the two are unified. Wang Chuanshan's view of “Jing” and “Quan”, on the basis of acknowledging the general binding force of moral norms, has fully respected the exertion of freedom of will in the specific circumstances of the subject, which has deepened and promoted the philosophy of Confucianism, and also has a significant enlightenment.
