This article is meant to revolve around Zhou Lien-xi’s idea of ”genuineness” and inquire his understanding about the thought of Yi Zhuan, ”The Doctrine of the Mean”. ”The Doctrine of the Mean” points out the questions of ”nature” and the ”heavenly way” and address the correspondence between the heavenly way and human nature by means of ”genuineness.” Yi Zhuan makes some brilliant statement about the cosmos view and the heavenly way. These two statements, complementary to one another, became the foundation of Neo-Confucians’ doctrine of the heavenly way and human nature. This paper proceeds along the evolution of the literal meaning and immanence of ”genuineness,” then Zhou's theory of ”genuineness,” and finally the thought in Yi Zhuan, ”The Doctrine of the Mean” as he inherited and understood.
