«Неделимость основы и функции» ( тиюн буфэнь, 体用不分) - это одна из важных категорий китайской философии. Первым ее выдвинул Ван Би (王弼, ?-1939), после чего многие ученые углубленно разбирали эту проблему. Сегодняшнее понимание «основы и функции» ( ти юн, 体用), т. е. понимание Ли Цзэхоу (李泽厚, 1930 г. р.), способно в наибольшей степени показать их единство. В статье проанализирована история «постепенного проникновения западного на Восток» ( сисюэ дунцзянь, 西学东渐) и описаны содержание и истоки концепции «западной основы и китайской функции» ( сити чжунюн, 西体中用) Ли Цзэхоу.
The article aims to contribute to studying “the indivisibility of the foundation and the function” (tiyong bufen, 体用不分) as one of the most important categories of Chinese philosophy. This idea was first put forward by Wang Bi (王弼, ? -1939), after which many scholars tried to deal with this problem. Today Li Zehou’s (李泽厚, 1930) understanding of “the foundation and the function” (tiyong, 体用) is the best one to show their unity. The article analyses the history of the “gradual penetration of the West into the East” (xixue dongjian, 西学东渐) and describes the content and origins of the concept of “the Western foundation and the Chinese function” (xiti zhongyong, 西体中用) developed by Li Zehou. The author of the article points out that “the Western foundation and the Chinese function” is very important for the development of Chinese society and this concept can help to solve the problem of communication between the western and eastern cultures. Li Zehou provides a pretty clear explanation of the concept of " the Western foundation and the Chinese function", and this concept has had a significant impact on modern China.
