ABSTRACT
It is known that the Yin-Yang metaphysical vision of the Yi-Jing ( I Ching), reflecting some collective wisdom of ancient Chinese people on the nature and fundamental features of the universe, has fundamentally influenced the orientation of mentality, and the way of metaphysical thinking, of subsequent Chinese thinkers in various schools or movements. To understand how classical Chinese philosophy could contribute to the common philosophical enterprise in regard to metaphysical investigation as well as to understand the orientation and characteristics of Chinese metaphysical thought, the Yin-Yang metaphysical vision of the Yi-Jing is one of the most important sources.
