Furthermore, Zhu Xi connected the way of heaven ("tendō") with the human way ("jindō") through rational principal. Jinsai on the other hand saw the way ("michi") as being embedded in the common and everyday, and not ensconced on some elevated plane as Zhu had suggested. To Jinsai, the central question was how one should conduct oneself in everyday life. Zhu Xi affirmed that all humans are born with an "original human nature" ("sei"), which is naturally good. Jinsai, however, rejected this.
