Abstract:The philosophical concept of“Taiyi(太一)”as the ultimate reality is closely related to the philosophy of Laozi.Laozi elevated the two originally ordinary terms“da(大)”and“yi(一)”into philosophical concepts,endowing them with highly abstract metaphysical significance. These terms were incorporated into the ontological framework of“Dao(道)”,where they function as synonyms for“Dao(道)". The integration of“da(大)”and“yi(一)”in Laoxi culminates in the emergence of“Taiyi(太一)”as a philosophical concept,denoting ultimate reality,a development that appears both natural and inevitable during the Warring States period. In the philosophical texts of the Warring States period,“Taiyi(太一)” primarily serves as an ontological concept,while in the cosmogonic philosophy of Taiyi Shengshui(《太一生 水》)in the“Guodian Bamboo Slips”,it is further conceptualized as the ultimate source of all things in the cosmos.By the late Warring States period,as China approached a unified imperial order,“Taiyi(太一)” acquired additional layers of meaning—being worshipped as a celestial deity and symbolizing supreme political authority.

Keywords:Laozi;da(大);yi(一);Taiyi(太一);Dao(道)
