metaphysicsMetaphysical studies were the study and explanation of Laozi, Zhuangzi, and Zhouyi. It originated in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and was a trend of thought that advocated Laozi and Zhuangzi. Its trend of thought lasted from the end of the Han Dynasty to the middle of the Song Dynasty. It was a philosophical and cultural trend of thought that emerged from the integration of Taoism and Confucianism. It was also known as the new Taoism. The word "Xuan" came from the first chapter of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching. The last sentence described it as "mysterious beyond mystery, the door of all wonders". It was said to be deep and subtle.
In terms of the development of ideology, from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the troubled times of the Jin Dynasty, the orthodox Confucian school of thought that had dominated the intellectual world for nearly 400 years began to lose its charm, and metaphysics began to rise. The metaphysics of the Wei and Jin Dynasties used the thoughts of Laozi and Zhuangzi as the framework to reconcile nature and Confucianism, and to explore the basis for the existence of all things in the world. It originated from the decline of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty and the evolution and development of Taoism and Huanglao's learning. It was the product of the idle talk at the end of the Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Wei Dynasty. It could be called metaphysics and prevailed from the Wei, Jin, and Sui Dynasties. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Dao, Yu Liang and other famous scholars corrected their mistakes and promoted the idea of "Confucianism is nature". The rulers of the Xiao and Liang royal families advocated metaphysics and regarded it as the core of the academic culture at that time. In the Northern Dynasties, although the culture of metaphysics was impacted, it did not completely disappear. In the early Tang Dynasty, those who valued metaphysics achieved a breakthrough in Taoist philosophy. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty explained "Taoism is natural" with "Miao Ben" and ended the debate between Buddhism and Taoism.
In the modern context, metaphysics was also used to describe some phenomena or laws that were difficult to explain with science, such as some statements about luck and fortune, and some taboos when luck was bad.(For example, don't always wear dark-colored clothes, don't always say that your life is bad, stay away from places that make you uncomfortable, etc.) and some so-called "metaphysics laws" in life (for example, the more relaxed you are, the better the results, happiness can't help but be exposed to the sun, everything happens for a reason, etc.). However, these so-called "metaphysics" lacked scientific basis and were more of a cultural phenomenon or a manifestation of psychological suggestion.

In the modern context, metaphysics also had some explanations related to luck and life perception. For example, when you were unlucky, don't always wear dark clothes, don't always say that your life is bad, stay away from places that make you uncomfortable, and so on. There were also some so-called metaphysics laws such as the more relaxed you are, the better the results, happiness can't help but be exposed to the sun, and some methods to increase blessings such as filial piety and thrift were also included in the concepts related to metaphysics. However, these were more of a kind of metaphysical explanation of life phenomena derived from the concept of traditional metaphysics, which was different from the metaphysics in the sense of traditional philosophy.
