《庄子》外篇疏解

The Analysis of Outside Chapters of "Chuang Tzu"

《庄子》33篇,一般都认为内7篇为庄子所作,外15篇、杂11篇则观点不一。古代注家曾指出其中有些作品并非庄子所作。近些年有不少论述庄子或涉及庄子的著作,不分真伪,将外、杂中部分词句当作庄子之文加以引用并大肆发挥,这种作法很不妥当。本文根据思想内容、语言风格对《庄子》外篇进行了全面的疏理。

＂Chuang Tzu＂consists of 33 chapters.Generally speaking,it is certain that seven stratifying inner chapters are created by himself,while 15 chapters of outside ones and 11 miscellaneous chapters are still in dispute.One ancient Baidhawi Zeng once pointed out that many of chapters are created by others.Recently,some writings concerning ＂Chuang Tzu＂failed to tell the truth from the false,thus quoted some sentences and proverbs in it,which is not appropriate means.The paper aims to analyze those outside chapters of ＂Chuang Tzu＂in terms of thoughts and contents as well as language style.
