The Source of Reverence·The Fountain of Vital Harmony: An Independent Chapter of Jing-Rong Philosophical Reflections

Abstract

Jing-Rong Philosophical Reflections (JRPR) comprises a series of independent articles, dedicated to revealing original philosophical concepts and rules grounded in Reverence (Jìng) and Vital Harmony (Róng). This article presents the originating thought of the series, and is also the deductive article constructing the original philosophical model Rong Jie Tian Di (Vital Harmony-Equate-Heaven-Earth). Starting from Vital-Harmonize-Me Requires Reverence (Róng Wǒ Wéi Jìng), this article progressively deduces the four realms of Rong Jie Tian Di, which present a spiral upward structure with realms embedded within realms and two-way dynamic integration and operation, as well as its five operating rules. It also extracts the original core concepts of JRPR, including the Cognitive Law, the General Principle of Cultivation (Jìng Róng Wù Dào, Reverence-Vital Harmony-Lucid Realization-Dao), the Fundamental Law (Reverence–Vital Harmony–Unity into Oneness), and Observing Dao Through Things. Combined with concrete verification in diverse scenarios such as the evolution of civilization, calligraphy practice, boxing, and joining a community, this article restores the growth context of the Rong Jie Tian Di model from perceptual to rational sublimation. It has no preset research background or problem-solving objectives, only presents the natural exposition of the ideological core, and attempts to provide a new thinking framework for philosophy and practical application.
