Abstract:The construction of conceptual system of Zhu Xi's Neo Confucianism is realized by means of conceptual categorization.The essence of Zhu Xi's Neo Confucianism is the "sense-use" category, and the method of conceptual categorization is to establish the sense-use relationship between different concepts of the four modes of communication, perception, physical use and mutual use.Zhu Xi began with the categorization of the four virtues of "humanity，justice，propriety，wisdom", constructing his whole system of science by feeling-using as a standard, the connotation of a concept is confirmed only in the sense-use relationship with other concepts, and is presented in the interaction between sense-use.By analyzing the sense-use relationship between different concepts, we can roughly delineate the basic category of Zhu Xi's Neo Confucianism system, outline the main level of category concepts, and thus show the internal structure of Zhu's science system more completely.
