《庄子·人间世》结构分析

An Analysis of the Structure of Ren Jian Shi

本文分析了《庄子·人间世》的结构。《人间世》第一部分从现实生活层面说明处世之难,颜回、叶公子高、颜阖三个故事在论述上是层层递进的;第二部分从形而上的思辨层面论述如何处世,三个层次及所举的例子也是逐步深入的。两部分之间是前后相承的关系。《人间世》最后一段不仅回归到乱世如何处世的主旨,而且接舆与前文颜回、子高等人形成对比,使文章脉络更加连贯。

This thesis aims to make an analysis of the structure of Ren Jian Shi. The first part of Ren Jian Shi concludes the hardship of living, which was based on the real life described in Ren Jian Shi. The stories of Yan Hui, Ye Gongzigao, Yan He are narrated progressively. The second part illustrates how to live in terms of Metaphysics the examples in this part are also evaluated gradually. These two parts have some internal relations and developed from one another.
