Excerpt from the original text: dry call father, Kun call mother; Treating us contemptuously is a complicated matter. Therefore, the plug of heaven and earth, my body also; The beauty of heaven and earth is my nature. People, my compatriots; I, too.

The divination in the Book of Changes expresses the mystery of the creation of heaven and is called the father of all things. Kungua represents the material principle and structural principle of the creation of all things, and is called the mother of all things. I am so humble, but I am between heaven and earth.

From this point of view, what fills the space between heaven and earth (Kundi Qi) is my various bodies; It is my nature that causes the commander-in-chief to change everything in the world. The people are brothers and sisters of my compatriots, and everything is the same as me.

Mingxi was originally a part of Zhengmeng Gancheng. The author Zhang Zai once recorded "Zhi Yu" and "Ding Jue" in Gan Wei Pian in two schools and hung them in the east and west of the study as his motto.

When Cheng Yi saw it, he renamed it Dongming and Ding Jue as. This paper puts forward the idea of "harmony of characters", regards the universe as a big family, explains the moral obligation of individuals, and advocates the idea of "being, I am obedient, nothing, and I am harmonious".

In terms of ideological connotation and theoretical purpose, Mingxi expressed the theme of love, that is, "the relationship between people and things." Through Godfather and Mother → People and Things → Caring for People and Things → Not complaining and not infringing, love runs through it. Love is the logical thread of Mingxi, from the fields of universe, heaven and earth, humanity and life to the fields of ethics.
