The main objective of this paper is to analyze the meanings and characteristics of Chen Liang’s perspective on the Xin-Xue. To Chen Liang, Xin-Xue is the book of dao (truth) which could help people understand history. Therefore, studying the Xin-Xue becomes a metaphorical way to live with one’s time harmoniously. I would argue that such philosophy could be the major reason separating Chen Liang from Zhu Xi when it comes to the studies of the Xin-Xue and its relationship with the history.
