 note = {Lü Cai（呂才）was a scholar-official and philosopher in the Early Tang Period. He was not just a Yin and Yang scholar, but was also commissioned by the Tang Government to edit books across various fields of study. Those books have had a wide influence throughout the ages. Despite his substantial contributions to Chinese literature and thought, there has been little research about his life. Accordingly, this paper examines Lü Cai’s career and writings, and attempts to shed light on how this typical scholar-official of the Early Tang Period lived and worked. Based on the analysis on his writings that have been preserved, this paper aims to prove that he was not just a Yin and Yang scholar or a materialist as claimed by previous studies, but was also an accomplished scholar in Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism.For this task ,this paper focuses on the following four points. First, Lü Cai was a close aide of Emperors Taizong (太宗) and Gaozong (高宗), where he authored several official documents on the revival of Confucianism at that time. Second, his explanation of Hetuvidya （ an ancient Indian logic, 因明） expanded the Chinese Hetuvidya’s development. Third, his most prominent work is the Yin and Yang Book (陰陽書), which, despite only a few chapters being preserved, shows how divination was a popular practice among the public, and how the Tang Government shifted its policy on divination. Fourth, for his poet friend Wang Ji (王績), he edited five volumes of Wang Ji’s literary works (王無功文集), which became one of the most important references for the Early Tang Poetry (初唐詩).},
