Abstract
As a renowned philosopher of Song Dynasty, Zhou Dunyi
played a significant role in creating a new approach for
Chinese philosophy. This involved a reinterpretation
of Confucianism inspired by the ideas of Daoism and
Buddhism. This was a huge influence in the development
of Neo-Confucian thought. He did not write many works
in his life, but he did write a very significant work entitled
Taiji Tushuo, which explains the famous Taiji diagram.
This paper mainly introduces the historical context and
formative influences on Zhou Dunyi’s Taiji Tushuo, the
content of Taiji Tushuo and its main concepts. It will also
try to assess the modern social value of Taiji thought. The
purpose of this paper is to give readers a clear picture of
Taiji and the concept of Taiji thought.
