As a prime minister under the rule of the Sung emperor Kao Tsung, Li Kang firmly advocated a policy of resistance against the Chin. This did not agree with the party advocating the policy of appeasement, and Li Kang was not held in high regard by the court. Despite being demoted several times, he continued to submit memorials to the court because of his concern for the society and the people. These memorials have left a deep impression on later generations who see Li Kang as a great politician. His scholarship covered the three areas of literature, history and philosophy, and his works are many. Taking Confucianism as central, he combined the three teachings of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism as one. This was unacceptable to the Neo -Confucians of that time. As a result, his scholarship has been rarely discussed. A historical figure such as Li Kang, who was both a politician and a scholar, deserves to be studied comprehensively. Li Kang himself believed that his studies of the I Ching could be "a school of thought", and the article will take this as the focus of investigation. Although the twenty – two chuan of the inner and outer chapters of his main work on the I Chuan have been lost, we may still gather something of his thinking from the prefaces that he wrote to these chapters and from letters to friends describing his work. This article has five sections: (1) Introduction, (2) The combinatory and harmonizing character of his thought, (3) The contents and the characteristics of his teachings on the I Ching, (4) The congruence of the I Ching and the Hua Yen, and (5) The significance of Li Kang's teachings on the historical development of studies on the I Ching. The author has regrettably noticed a gap in the studies on Li Kang and it is hoped that this article will help to fill that gap.
