试论《庄子》卮言与酒之关系

Just Talking about the Relations Between “Zhiyan” in Zhuangzi and the Drink

卮是战国时期人们普遍使用的一种盛酒器。由于受先秦时期重酒、好酒传统的影响,庄子以卮代酒,以酒喻言,创造性地使用卮言作为其突破言意困境的重要手段。《庄子》卮言实际上是如酒一般让人品味又使人神往的载道之言。

During the Warring States Period,“Zhi” was a ware used to fill the drink. Influenced by the tradition of drink in the pre-Qin days, Zhuangzi replaced the drink by “Zhi”, and explained the Speech by the drink. He made use of “Zhiyan” originally as important means which broke through the jams of the speech and meaning. The article argues that“Zhiyan”in Zhuangzi was the speech carrying Dao like the drink.
