天人感应论与中国古代宇宙观

天人感应观念在东西方都曾长期存在。在中国,阴阳五行、观物取象、占卜预测、方技术数、典章仪式和谶纬之学中都渗透着天人感应观念,并对人们的生活方式、思维习惯甚至社会发展产生了重要的影响。在西方,这种观念表现为大小宇宙论,它也同样广泛存在于文艺复兴之前的整个欧洲,并通过星象学、各种巫术、宗教仪式和墓葬形制表现出来。这种现象表明了人类早期有着大体相同的宇宙观念和思维习惯。

The Cencept of the Interaction between Mankind and Universe and Ancien Chinese World View

The concept of the interaction between mankind and universe has been existing for quite long in both eastern and western world. In China, this concept infiltrates in the ancient Chinese philosophy of yin-yang and five elements, predicting good or bad forture by divination, rites of decrees and regulations and divination combined with mystical confucianist belief, and greatly affects people's life style, habit of thought and even the development of the society. In the west, the view of macrocosm and microcosm just manifested the concept, which, meanwhile, existed widely in Europe before and during the Renaissance in the form of conigurations of the stars, witchcrafts, religious rites and form of archaeol. This phenomenon shows that the early human being shared almost the same world view and habit of thought.
