庄子与中国艺术精神之生成

Zhuangzi and Spirits of Chinese Arts

庄子及其学说对中国艺术精神之生成具有立体而又根底性的意义。其贵生、安命的处世之道,乃后世文人的人生态度以及他们寄情艺术的缘由所在;其"虚"的体道工夫,亦为后世文人进行艺术创作的心理前提;其体道时所呈现的至乐、逍遥的精神状态,恰是后世文人在艺术作品中所表现出的情感体验;而庄子对真与自然这种价值形态的推崇,正与后世许多文人所领悟到的最高艺术境界相融通。

Zhuangzi＇s thoughts have an immense influence on spirits of Chinese arts. The life strategy of Zhuangzi ＂treasuring life＂ and ＂obeying destiny＂ is the life attitude of many literates. The Tao a method named ＂emptiness＂ is the psychological prerequisite for many literates＇ creation. The characteristics when comprehending Tao- ＂greatest happiness＂ and ＂carefree wandering＂ are experiences described by many literates. The principle advocated by Zhuangzi --＂authenticity＂ and ＂nature＂ is interlinked with the supreme realm in many literates＇ mind.
