《庄子》的自然人本精神对中国文人的影响

The Influence of the Spirit of Mans Natural Instincts Shown in 《Master Zhuang》 on Chinese Scholars

庄子思想是一种看重人的自然本性，关怀作为个体的人的生命及精神的本体论学说。因而《庄子》一书，基本上就是一部充满自然人本精神的哲学著作。它基于对乱世生命的忧患意识，抛弃了一切社会性功利是非而注重自然人本精神。这种精神不仅吸引中国知识分子一代又一代地去珍视自己的生命，善待自我，善待自然，在塑造中国文人的文化性格上起了重要作用，而且对他们的文艺思想产生了重大的影响，从而成为中国文艺思想最光辉的部分。

Master Zhuangs thinking is a kind of ontological theory which puts stress on mans natural instincts and concerns the life and spirit of individuals.Therefore,the book Master Zhuang is a philosophic writing full of the spirit of mans natural instincts.Based on Master Zhuangs sorrowful consciousness for the life in troubled times,the book pays attention to the spirit of mans natural instincts by castin aside all the social utilities and right and wrong.This kind of spirit not only attracts Chinese intellectuals from generation to generation to treasure their lives and treat themselves well,playing an import role in modelling the cultural character of Chinese scholars and bringing about an important influence on their literary and art thinking.This is the most brilliant part of Chinese literary and art thinking.
