Abstract
Yang-ch'üan 楊泉 in San-kuo 三国 and Chin 晉 period was a philosopher who developed the rationalistic and materialistic view of nature; on the basis of his idea that the origin of natural world is "water" and Ch'i 気 drived from "water" constitutes all things, he offered a objective interpretation of natural world. In his thought natural world all was grasped as a expressive form of Ch'i and also he denied the existence of spirit seperated from body, applying this view of nature to the human being, and again he had a keen interest in technique which was led by his view of nature. Yang-ch'üan's idea has some weak points or limit; it is in his irrational idea, for instance, that he accused Hun-t'ien theory 渾天説 for inconsistence of Tou-chi 斗極 with zenith and affirmed the retribution theory of fortune or misfortune as a result of human deed with good or evil, which is due to immaturity in the rational character of his idea. Yang-ch'üan's thought takes a pioneering co-ordinate in the development of the view of nature in the Chinese history of ideas, and constitutes a link of materialistic idea in the period of Han 漢 and Liu-ch'ao 六朝.
