520			_a"近思錄" by Xi Zhu is a philosophical treatise written in the late 13th century. The work reflects on various metaphysical topics, exploring ideas such as the nature of existence, moral virtues, the balance of yin and yang, and the interconnectedness of humanity with the universe. The opening chapters introduce concepts of ultimate reality (Taiji), the nature of human beings, and the essence of moral conduct. The beginning of "近思錄" delves into abstract philosophical discussions, starting with the ideas of Chinese philosopher 濂溪 (Lianxi), who presents fundamental principles of the cosmos, focusing on concepts like the interplay of yin and yang and the five elements that arise from them. His reflections emphasize the cyclic nature of existence and the moral dimensions of human action. The text also introduces the importance of cultivating one's character and thoughts toward understanding moral righteousness and the essence of benevolence (仁). Importantly, the opening establishes a foundation for readers to contemplate deeper ethical and metaphysical inquiries, setting the tone for the philosophical explorations that follow.
