Prado Energijos Sampratos Interpretacija Klasikinio Daoizmo Tekstuose „Guanzi“ Ir „Geltonojo Imperatoriaus Vidinis Kanonas“
The Interpretation of Primordial Energy in “Guanzi” and “Yellow Emperror’s Inner Canon”

Summary/Abstract: The main research subject of this article is the interpretation of the primordial energy (qì 氣) concept in two fundamental classical daoist texts of “Guanzi” and “Yellow Emperror’s Inner Canon”, which were written during the early classical period of Chinese philosophical thought. Unlike the texts of “Laozi” and “Zhuangzi”, where the idea of primordial energy has been given as a general outline or a blueprint, the texts of “Guanzi” and “Yellow Emperror’s Inner Canon” elaborate a more detailed version of primordial energy concept. Using the primordial energy ideas expounded in these texts, the author analyzes the expansion of meaning of this concept and its growing importance in the daoist philosophical thought. Through this analysis the author reveals particular features of the primordial energy interpretation in texts of “Guanzi” and “Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon”.
