Delving into one short phrase in the connection of ”Joy, anger, sorrow and delight” with ”Energy flow of one Yang recovering from the center of the earth (一陽之氣, 從地中復)” by Luo Jinxi (羅近溪), this essay indicates that the implication of ”Energy flow of one Yang recovering from the center of the earth” is closely related to Luo's ideal sense of ”Sentiment”: relying on the ”Recovery” is the practice of ”self-cultivation” which allows ”Yi Yang Zhi Qi” (Energy Flow of One Yang) to circulate to the extremities from the place of profoundly deep consciousness of ”Muladhara Chakra (海底紅輪)” through the physical rhythm of practice to accept the never-ending secrets of heaven and justice of nature and the cosmos, further eliminating artificial desires, affections and persistences. The feelings of ”Joy, anger, sorrow and delight,” derived from such context without desire, present ”no missing the mean” that manifests Luo's ideal sense of ”Sentiment.” The circulation of ”Justice of Nature” exists naturally in ”Sentiment” and ”Justice of Nature” implies the profound meaning of the endless cycles of life. Same to ”Yi Yang Zhi Qi,” ”Sentiment” is everlasting that can affect the cosmos and achieve oneness with the myriad things within the cosmos. The text, derived from ”Sentiment,” is manifested by the text of ceremony or article based on ”My body replacing works of nature(己身代天工)” and ”My word replacing heaven (己口代天言),” thus the article can be deemed as the work of nature. The paper's academic value lies in its insightful analysis that reveals the implications of Luo's ”Sentiment,” a concept which is yet to be explored though the ”Energy Flow of One Yang Recovering from the Center of the Earth.” This study hence contributes to the critical understanding of the concept of ”Sentiment” by Luo in the current academic circle.
