Abstract: “Cosmology of Qi Transformation” was proposed by François Cheng, a Chinese-born member of the Académie française, in the activities of interpreting classical Chinese poems and paintings from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. It later became an important clue for his contemplation on the fundamental questions of life in the early 21st century. This cosmological model is essentially a “Theory of Qi” that integrates the terminologies of Confucianism and Taoism to operate on three axes of Virtual-Real, Yin-Yang, and Heaven-Earth-Human. The originality and coherence of François Cheng’s thought in the Sino-French intercultural context was demonstrated from “Two-axis Prototype” of French structuralist semiotics and the concept of Vide médian that was formed during the discussion of “Chinese thought” with Jacques Lacan in the “Cosmology of Qi Transformation.”
