In this thesis, the difference in Ming de between Zhu xi and Gan jae is examined through their oriented Zeitgeist. Zhu xi defines Ming de as xing, and Gan jae does as xin. Because Korea’s Xing Li Xue is based on Zhuxism, some one states his own Ming de accords with Zhu xi no matter he defines Ming de as xing or xin. Gan jae is no exception also. In this paper, I don’t actively discuss about accordance with Gan jae’s Ming de and Zhu xi’s Ming de. It is a meaningful discussion in the academic history, but is not in philosophical way. I think one philosophical ideology has to have the writer’s ideal zeitgeist. In this way, I will not give any positive word to the theory without the writer’s zeitgeist, even though that theory does accord with Zhu xi’s Ming de. I will investigate the reason of the difference in Ming de between Zhu xi and Gan jae through diagnosis of their eras and difference with their own Zeitgeist.
