从《内经图》看道教身体观的生态意义

The Ecological Significance of Body in Daoism Viewed from Picture of Inner Scripture

道教把身体视为一切的基础。在道教看来,人与自然的关系可以表现为身体与自然的关系。道教通过返本还原的修炼功夫,打破身体与外在的壁垒;通过身体而与外界交通,并最终将身体与自然合而为一,实现天人一体。最能形象地说明道教以身体为核心,使得个人、社会与自然具有同构关系的是《内经图》。从这幅图中我们可以发现,道教身体观隐含着深刻的生态意义。

Body in Daoism is regarded as the basis of all existence. According to the Daoism, the relationship between the man and the nature can be manifested as that between the body and the nature. The Daoism interrupts the barrier between the body and the outside world through returning the original shape. It integrates the body and the nature and makes the heaven and the man be a whole through the body＇s communication with the outside world. Picture of Inner Scripture can best reflect that the Daoism makes the individual, the society and the nature have the same construction relation with thebody as the centre. We may discover from the picture that the Daoism＇s body concept implicates a deep ecological significance.
