To a great degree Zhang Zai shaped his thought of mind-nature theory based on his interpretation of Mencius's mind-nature theory.From the perspective of Confucian study of mind nature,Mencius can be said to be the founder of Confucian while Zhang Zai to be the accomplisher of mind-nature theory.The former laid a preliminary foundation for the theory while the latter summarized and developed Confucian mind-nature theory,in which he properly solved the good and the evil in human nature and conflicts between them to make the theory profound and perfect both in theory and in practice.%张载的心性论思想在很大程度上是在阐释孟子心性论的基础上发展而来的。从儒家心性之学的角度看,孟子可以说是儒家心性论的确立者,张载则是儒家心性论的完善者;孟子的功绩在于使儒家的心性论初具规模,张载的功绩则在于对儒家心性论进行了总结与发展,并合理地解决了人性善恶及其冲突问题,从而使儒家心性论在理论与实践方面都趋于丰富和完善。
