metadata.value: Researchers cannot ignore metaphysics, as an attribute and integral characteristic of European
  philosophy, as well as an indispensable part of any other philosophical tradition. The term
  ‘metaphysics,’ due to its undoubtable importance, could not avoid subsequent interpretations
  in non-European philosophical traditions. Moreover, these interpretations are of great interest
  due to their ability to highlight the philosophical specificity of the traditions that have produced
  them. The article deals with the initial philosophical meaning of the phrase from ‘Xi Ci
  Zhuan,’ commentary to ‘The Book of Changes,’ which became a prototype for the concept of 形而上學 (Chinese xin er shang xue, Japanese kei ji jo gaku). This concept was invented by the
  Japanese philosopher Inoue Tetsujiro on the basis of a phrase from ‘Xi Ci Zhuan’ to translate
  the term ‘metaphysics’ into Eastern languages (first into Japanese, then into Chinese). This
  article discusses the hieroglyphic etymology and semantic fields of the Chinese philosophical
  terms dao (道), xing (形) and qi (器) that constitute this phrase. The authors indicate three
  main points of view on the interpretation of the phrase from ‘Xi Ci Zhuan’ — eidetic, technomorphist,
  and empiric. Based on the assumption of the greater relevance of the empirical
  point of view, they reconstruct the meaning of this phrase that defines the semantics of the
  terms dao (道), xing (形) and qi (器) used in it.
