【說明】

此語出自江戶哲學家三浦梅園（1723-1789）所著《玄語》。梅園出身醫家，他的思想融會儒、道、佛三家，並在長崎遊學時接觸西洋天文學，形成兼具東西思維的宇宙觀。他認為，天地是由萬物相互依存、彼此補合所構成的連續性整體。

秀樹晚年親訪梅園故居時發現《玄語》原著中多有圖解。據三浦梅園研究所的資料，秀樹看到圖解時直覺地感受到其與原子模型概念的相似性。
 

【Description】

This phrase derives from Gengo (Abstruse Talk), written by the Edo-period philosopher Baien Miura(1723-1789). Trained in medicine and versed in Confucian, Daoist, and Buddhist thoughts, Miura also encountered Western astronomy during his studies in Nagasaki, developing a cosmology that united Eastern and Western perspectives. He conceived the universe as a continuous whole, sustained by the mutual interdependence of all things.

In his later years, Hideki Yukawa visited Miura’s former residence and was struck by the diagrams in Gengo. He intuitively sensed their affinity with atomic models.
