ИСТИНА

Any philosophical system has its own categorical apparatus, which can be described from the positions of different scientific disciplines. A detailed description and careful study of the main categories allows us to understand the philosophical system as a whole. If we integrate into this approach a linguistic analysis of the fundamental categories and terms of traditional Chinese philosophy and culture, we can get a more complete and full description of the philosophical system. On the basis of functional and statistical analysis were allocated 15 of the most common concepts, namely "Heaven" (天), "Change" (易), "Human being" (人), "Cause, Reason, Fact" (故), "Gradual Change" (变, bian), "Earth" (地, di), "Virtue, Power" (德, te), "Way, Logo, Method," (道, Tao), "Action" (动, Dun), "Sudden Change" (化 Hua), "Center, Middle" (中, Zhong), "Use, Function" (用 young), "the Yin Force" (阴), "Vapour, Steam, Pneuma, Energy" (气, qi), "the Yang Force" (阳). All these concepts form a special category at the micro-level. Micro-level refers to the terminology of the commentaries "Xici Zhuan". The macro-level refers to the nuclear conceptual apparatus of the entire monument, where all the concepts of the compendium are taken into account. Accordingly, the micro-levels of the seven sections of the compendium constitute the macro-level of the philosophical treatise-commentaries "Xizi Zhuan".
