Gao Panlong(1562-1626) was an important thinker and educator as well as a famous politician in the late Ming period. He had always been concerning about the world, about the atmosphere of study and the malpractices of current affairs, no matter he was in the office or not, until he committed suicide for preserving one’s dignity. He kept trying hard on his moral cultivation and reached different understanding levels. His thought was mainly about reconstructing the Cheng-Zhu school in order to redress the abuses from the Yangming school; his characteristic was merging the Cheng-Zhu school and the Yangming school and discarding the shortcomings while combining the merits from both sides.This thesis mainly includes seven chapters. The value and significance of the thesis is suggested in the preface. The second chapter introduces Gao Panlong’s academic and political background, examines his experience on study and taking office, to show the main themes throughout his life. And then, the thesis focuses on the main body of Gao Panlong’s philosophical thought by studying the categories of “nature” and “mind-heart” and their relationship, in order to provide the background and basis of theories and the context for the research of self-cultivation. The thesis then continues to discuss the two ways of cultivation from Gao Panlong, Zhujing (seriousness, reverence for subjectivity) and Zhujing(meditation). Gao Panlong’s way of Zhujing(meditation) is especially outstanding in Neo-Confucianism. This thesis discusses the reasoning and the methodology of Zhujing(meditation) and the related problems. The fifth chapter criticizes Gao Panlong’s re-editing of The Great Learning and his own interpretation; and basing on that, the thesis examines his thought of “investigation of things”, which is illuminating the goodness through investigation of things while obtaining the goodness but not staying in the goodness. Then the thesis discusses Gao Panlong’s thought on “entity and cultivation” and “gradual transformation and instant enlightenment”, as well as his classification of the Neo-Confucianism and proposition on regarding Confucianism as yang teaching and, Buddhism and Daoism as yin teaching in the concept of yin-yang. The last part is the conclusion.
