Inheriting the academic orientation of Cheng Yi-chuan-"selfcultivation requires seriousness; the pursuit of learning depends on the extension of knowledge"-Zhu Xi combined "investigating things" and "attaining knowledge" from The Great Learning and "investigating principles" from The Book of Yi (Change) into his Supplementary Commentaries on Investigating Things and Attaining Knowledge, creating an innovative approach to Confucianism. This article is primarily meant to study Zhu's "investigating things," "attaining knowledge" and "investigating principles" along with his inheritance of the doctrine of yi, especially the theoretical links between Zhu's doctrine of yi, Cheng's doctrine of yi and Wang Bi's doctrine of yi. Moreover, we try to explore how Zhu's academic approach of "self-cultivation requiring seriousness and the pursuit of learning depending on the extension of knowledge" was founded on the body-function theory from the doctrine of yi.
