情智兼得方为圣人——论王弼的理想人格

A sage should be both human and intelligent——On Wang BiIdeal Personality

王弼的理想人格是圣人,圣人具有超拔的智慧而不滥用智慧,“圣人有情论”还圣人以正常人的生命情感和自然之性,把人格神还原为普通人。在树立“圣人”这一人格典范时,王弼将儒家的理想融入道家的自然,以道家的思想改造传统的儒家经学,形成其“内道外儒”的人格特征,在对经学的重新阐释中将道家推向历史的前台,掀起魏晋玄风,中国哲学思想在这里出现了大的转折,对后世的文学、美学、艺术产生了深远的影响。

The ancient Chinese scholar Wang Bi＇s ideal personality refers to that a sage should have. He argued that sages should have super intelligence but not abuse their intelligence. His viewpoint of “sages being human” restores the ordinary life feelings of sages and makes sages return to the world of life. When setting up the example of “sages”, Wang Bi mixed Confucian ideas with Taoist naturalness. He remoulded the traditional study of Confucian classics with Taoist thoughts so as to form his character of “Taoism in internality and Confucianism in externality”. He pushed Taoism forward when explaining the study of Confucian classics. Metaphysics of the Wei and Jin Dynasties started from then on. A big turn of Chinese philosophical thinking arose, which had a tremendous influence on the literature, aesthetics and art of the later generation.
