Previous studies of the Chuanshan's interpretation of I-Ching focus on its doctrines. Additionally, there has been a popular opinion that Chuanshan's mode of thinking is dialectical in emphasizing the unity of two extremes. The purpose of this article is to justify three themes through a detailed analysis of the article ”The Principles Setting in the Inner Commentary of Chou-I”. The first theme explains that Chuanshan's mode of thinking is not dialectical because Chuanshan understood the two extremes as consistent rather than as contradictory. Second, although Chuanshan's mode of thinking is not dialectical, it is nevertheless synthetic. His mode of synthesis, further, is not to be understood outside his fundamental worldview. In fact, his different modes of synthesis are determined by his fundamental worldview. Third, his ontology determines not only his modes of synthetic thinking, but also his mode of interpreting the I-Ching. The gravity nf the article lies in unfolding the relations of Chuanshan's ontological views, his synthetic modes, and his mode interpreting I-Ching.
