Abstract

Jung’s theory of analytical psychology is not entirely based on Freud’s ideas, and we have more often than not overlooked the fact that ancient Chinese traditional culture is an important source and theoretical foundation of analytical psychology.[1] Firstly, in the dimension of personality goals, Jung introduced the concepts of SELF and self-accumplish, based on the core of the Tao in the I Ching. Secondly, in the dimension of coordination of personality structure, Jung based on the ancient Taoist idea of “natural inaction†and “induction of heaven and manâ€, and then proposed the principle of co-occurrence. Again, in the dimension of personality types, Jung’s concept of introversion and extroversion, as well as the eight personality types, are fully in line with the ontology of the Eight Trigrams of Yin and Yang of Taoism in China. In conclusion, Jung’s analytical psychology is a secondary processing and development based on the excavation and full absorption of ancient Chinese traditional culture. Analytical psychology can be regarded as a model of deep integration of Chinese and Western cultures, and also provides a good example and model for us to further confront and develop Chinese traditional culture from the perspective of psychology history.
