ABSTRACT The mainstream of academia thinks that Xunzi’s theory of human nature, which claims that human nature is bad, is in contrast with those of Confucius and Mencius and is unable to provide a foundation for human moral subjectivity. However, there are more and more scholars bringing up different ideas, such as Lu Debin and Fung Yiuming. They think that Xunzi’s wei 偽 (artifice), which includes zhi知 (knowing) and neng 能 (capacity), is a kind of inborn capacity to think and activate that belongs to xing. This paper points out that zhi and neng belong to xin 心 (mind) rather than xing. In the text of Xunzi, xing is mainly regarded as human emotions and desires which would result in chaos if not controlled. Making zhi and neng belong to xing does not accord with Xunzi’s theory and will confuse people with the connotation of Xunzi’s xing.

Zhi和Neng属于心灵：研究of子心灵的良好能力

摘要学术界主流人士认为，zi子的人性论认为人性是坏的，与孔子，孟子形成鲜明对比，不能为人的道德主体性提供基础。但是，越来越多的学者提出了不同的观点，例如陆德斌和冯玉明。他们认为X子的“技巧”，包括“知知”和“能”（能力），是一种与生俱来的思考和激活能力。本文指出，智和能属于心（心）而非兴。在of子的著作中，“兴”主要被认为是人类的情感和欲望，如果不加以控制，将会导致混乱。将和能归于ing不符合X子的理论，会使人们混淆X子的涵义。
