Contemporary Reappearance of "Yingshuyanshuo"——Understanding and Inspiring on the Yudan Phenomenon

通过分析于丹在《〈庄子〉心得》一书中的心语及"郢书燕说"式的错误,认为该书在本质上并没有真正解读出《庄子》的要义,其实质只是一部用经典作为点缀的畅销书,书中所论只不过是于丹个人在现代生活中总结出来的人生心得。至于于丹的个人心得之所以能够引发巨大的社会反响,则主要是当下中国社会的"国学热"与大众传媒及商业运作方式相互联姻所致。

By analyzing the book Insight into Zhuangzi, this article argues that this book has failed to convey the essence of the original masterpiece.
