The article deals with the lexicographic and semantic analysis of ontological centric categories in the Mawangdui silk manuscript of Appended Statemets to Yi Ching (Xici zhuan). The author raises the problems of the interpretation of one of the most significant philosophical commentaries to Yi Ching. Author’s pioneering idea is to offer a new view on the Mawangdui version of Xici. Moreover, using textual statistical analysis of centric ontological categories helps to reveal most important ideas and concepts of Chinese Philosophy. It shows that most frequent terms are 道，德，天，地，人，器，阴，阳，易，变，化，中，动，极，用. Every term gives a deep understanding of basis ideas of Chinese traditional thought.
