KONFUTSY. SYSTEM ' BOOKS OF CHANGES '

the system Originality consisted that it was under construction on opposite symbols - positive Jan and negative In. Both symbols make an image of mountain: the shined part of mountain - Jan, a shady side - In. This image variety of oppositions consisted: the sky and the earth; day and night; heat and a cold; the man and the woman. As a result trigrammy became the symbols of changes accompanying not only human, but also universal life. The verbal formulas reminding mysterious aphorisms were applied on everyone trigramme, which not so simply to decipher. For an example it is possible to result the saying decorating one of trigramm: ' you Will leave, you will enter - there will be no harm. Friends will come - the abuse will not be. You will return back on the way. In seven days return. Favorably to have where to act ' etc.

Scientists of late time marked singularity and accuracy of aphorisms ' Itszin ' which directly influenced both reason, and on feeling, instantly creating a certain image. Was here and the special arch ' Rules ' (whether ' '), to which Konfutsy stated such estimation: ' With songs begin, on Rules affirm, music finish. That Did not correct, do not look! That Did not correct, do not listen! That Did not correct, do not speak! '

Rules represented the instructions defining behaviour of people, their public duties and government laws. It was possible to name them norms of a common law and the state law, developed by life experience. And key rules which, according to the philosopher, the human nature submits, were ' chzhi ' and ' ven '. Under ' chzhi ' natural qualities of the person were understood, and that such ' ven ', Konfutsy has defined as follows: ' When the young man is respectful to parents, is adhered to brothers; when it is modest, truthful; when it with love concerns people - it this all comes nearer to the human beginning in itself(himself). And if it still has forces, it studies ven '.

Hence, ven - not usual property of human nature, and got moral qualities. Ven - that study, what the person enriches itself, the private world. An original cause of harm of Konfutsy saw in imperfection of the person. To improve it it is possible with the help chzhi, making a essence of our nature, and as means for perfection serves ven - aspiration to knowledge, erudition, education, intellectual culture and high morals. ' improvements of the person ' Konfutsy defined such problem as Dao (way).
