Abstract:Individual body is first conceptualized; it is then lifted to the status of "gu," and finally viewed from the vantage point of 'li.” In this process, body is treated as a universal, and never as a particular. Every individual body is different from others. Yet body as a class exists as a class; body as gu exists as gu; body as li exists as li. The unity of mind and body implies that on the one hand body transforms into a thinking thing, on the other hand thinking unfolds through body. This is the underlying ground and basic characteristic of the idea of human body in the history of Chinese thought.
