This paper attempts to demonstrate that Wang Quan Shan is a qi-emphasized moral theorist. Although succeeded the Song-Ming Neo-Confucianism thoughts of "reason," Wang did not fully embrace the related theories. On his "qi-emphasized" basis, "reason" is seen as the "reason" of" un-separateness of reason and qi, " and thus "reason" has been placed more emphasis upon "reason of real existence condition." Whether focusing on that "reason will not exist without qi" or on that "goodness of reason is equal to goodness of qi", Wang apparently paid more attentions to "qi". Wang's emphasis led his discussion of "reason" to a slightly different direction from the previous theorists. Moreover, Wang regards "natural disposition" as one's inherent nature, because he sees "natural disposition" derives from original existence instead of seeing it oppositional to "philosophical connotations". Furthermore, Wang did not reject human desire for he attempted to ease the tensional relationship of absolute opposition from his statements such as that "reason and human desire are both natural" or that of "controlling desire and cultivating reason". Wang's thoughts also brought possible the direct understanding of "human desire" in an objective and realistic perspective. Hence, this paper provides both a clear view of Wang's qi-emphasized thought different from reason-emphasized moral theorist as well as the reflections.
