天人感应思想在中国思想史上,不仅持续时间很长,而且其影响普及于群众。这种思想的最一般的涵义是:天与人相通,天可根据人的行为的善恶作出不同的反应。从总体上看,它具有神学色彩。然而,在不同时代的不同思想家的体系中,天人感应思想又有不少特异之处,呈现出不同的形态。对此,迄今似还缺乏较系统的研究。我以为,从对于“天”的不同理解和“感应”的不同方式等方面看,中国历史上的天人感应思想可以大致分为四个类型。 In the history of Chinese thought, the idea of ​​celestial induction not only lasts for a long time, but also has its influence on the masses. The most general implication of this idea is that God communicates with man and God can react differently according to the good and evil of human behavior. Overall, it has a theological color. However, in the systems of different thinkers of different ages, there are quite a few special features of the celestial sensation, showing different forms. So far, there seems to be a lack of systematic research. I think that from the different understandings of “heaven” and the different ways of “sensing”, the thoughts of heaven and man can be roughly divided into four types in Chinese history.
