论庄子的女性伦理美思想

On the Idea of Female Ethical Beauty of Zhuangzi

庄子认为,女性伦理美应该体现"道"的自然无为的本性,表现为一种返朴归真的自然美。对于女性的外表,庄子主张"大朴不雕";对于女性的心灵和人格,庄子主张去"迹"返"真"。虽然庄子以"全德全形"为女性伦理美的最高境界,但在女性的外在美和内在美不可兼得的情况下,庄子认为女性的内在美更为重要。

Zhuangzi thought that the natural essentiality of ＂Tao＂ should be embodied in female ethical beauty, and female ethical beauty should be a kind of beauty which returns to nature. Thus, for the apperance of women, Zhuangzi claimed that it should keep state of nature and have no artifical modifier. For the soul and personality of women, ghuangzi claimed that it should be free from the astriction of feudal moralty and return to nature. Zhuangzi considered that women should have both internal and external beauty, which was the highest criterion of female ethical beauty. However, Zhuangzi thought that the internal beauty was more important than exteranl beauty on the condition that those two kinds of beauty could not be possessed by women.
