摘　　要：把循环当成解释世界的认知图式,这是早期中国的说理思维之一,并能被视为中国古人缔造世界观的基本策略,内容包括:(1)循环图式提供了一种将世界整体化的策略,即设想某种一元复始的循环,可以消弭差异,视万物为一体;(2)循环图式也提供了一种将世界规律化的策略,即设想某种多元更替的循环,可以预判周期,视变化为重演。因此用循环解释世界,这种说理思维支撑了中国古代以一体论与周期论为基本主张的世界观。The use of circularity as a cognitive schema for interpreting the world was one of the typical modes and basic strategies of thinking in ancient China.On the one hand,such a circular schema provides a strategy for world-integration in which differences are eliminated and the world is rendered an indivisible One in a foreverrestarting cycle.On the other hand,the circular schema offers a tactic for ordering the world as a cycle featuring multiple alterations,in which changes are periodically repeated.Therefore,in virtue of the oneness-and-circularity theory,the circular rationale supports the ancient Chinese worldview in a strong way.
