| Research Abstract |
The goal of my research was to analyze Zhu Zaiyu's philosophy of figures. Zhu Zaiyu invented 12 equal temperament in the late Ming dynasty. He reconstructed frameworks of astronomical and musical theory from the Han dynasty using the mathematical philosophy of Zhou-yi from the Song dynasty. Previous research dominantly regards him as a scientist concerned highly with proof, but my research points out that his way of thinking was primarily influenced by the mathematical philosophy of Zhou-yi. My research clarifies the relation with He Tang's philosophy of yin-yang and analyzes Zhu Zaiyu's book of mathematics. Zhu Zaiyu's mathematical way of thinking which relied on Zhou-yi was taken up by Jiang Yong in his later years.Jiang Yong related a lot of mathematical theory of He-tu and Luo-shu to musical temperament. Apart from that, 12 equal temperament was not easily accepted by scholars in the Qing dynasty because of the emphasis of the aspects of mathematical philosophy of Zhou-yi involved.
