Abstract: The rise of the neo-Confucianism to a large extent is benefited from the original Confucianism resources of “heaven and nature”.Hu Hong,a famous representative of Confucianism in South Song dynasty,took the concept of heaven very seriously,absorbed the value theory of honesty and humanity on the basis of the Confucian traditional view of Heaven,and endowed the concept of Heaven with true value connotation.From that,we can know clearly that his philosophy is in accordance with the pattern of “the unity of heaven and humanity” and the traditional virtue of Confucianism.It inherited and developed the thought of “Yi Zhuan” and “The Doctrine of the Mean” in light of the metaphysical construction of “the unity of heaven and humanity”.What’s more,it discussed the God by Heaven and used the theory of honesty and humanity to explain the Heaven,then created a unique and valuable model of heaven and humanity.Thus,it is of great significance in Chinese philosophy.

Key words:  , Hu Hong, Concept of Heaven, Honesty, Humanity
