The debate on the yan yi relation was carried out by Chinese philosophers collectively, and the principles and methods in the debate still belong to a living tradition of Chinese philosophy. From Yijing (Book of Changes), Lunyu (Analects), Laozi and Zhuangzi to Wang Bi, yi which cannot be expressed fully by yan (language), is not only idea or meaning in the human mind, but is also some kind of ontological existence, which is beyond yan and emblematic symbols, and unspeakable. Thus, the debate on the yan yi relation refers firstly to metaphysics, secondly to moral philosophy, and then to epistemology and philosophy of language. Guided by this view, this paper recalls the source of the debate on the yan yi relation to Yijing and Lunyu, distinguishes four meanings of yi in Chinese philosophy, and reconstructs three arguments. These arguments are the yan cannot express yi fully argument, forget yan once you get yi argument, and yan can express yi fully argument. Finally, this paper exposes and comments on those principles, methods and the general tendency shown in the debate from the following five aspects: starting point, value-preference, methodology, texts (papers and books), and influences.

As Buddhism spread into China, the Mahayana (Dacheng) and Hinayana (Xiaocheng) schools, as well as the kong zz (empty) or you g (being) schools, each developed separately, with all sorts of competing theories emerging. While Chinese Buddhism saw a revival in modern times, Western science also gained ground all over the country, and many scholars, technologists and monks sought to interpret the meaning of kong according the achievements and method of the natural sciences. They used science to interpret the content and methods of Buddhist teachings, ontology, and outlook on life. Of the scholars who did so, Wang Jitong (s媅cT ) and You Zhibiao (\"fz坔) are the most excellent.

Liu Zhuanghu, Li Xiaowu
Frontiers of Philosophy in China. 2006, 1 (4): 710-725.
https://doi.org/10.1007/s11466-006-0033-4
Firstly, the authors analyzed the properties of primary-onditionals and secondary-conditionals, establish the minimum system C2Lm of primary-conditionals and secondary-conditionals, and then prove some of the formal theorems of the system which have important intuitive meanings. Secondly, the authors constructed the neighborhood semantics, prove the soundness of C2Lm, introduce a general concept of canonical model by the neighborhood semantics, and then prove the completeness of C2Lm by the canonical model. Finally, according to the technical results of the minimum system C2Lm, the authors discuss some of the important problems concerning primary-conditionals and secondary-conditionals.
