《周易》“天人合一”思想管窥

A Peek on the Idea of "Union of Man and Nature" in Zhouyi

在《周易》"天人合一"思想体系里,天地人三才源于并合于一,其中,人并不是一种被动的现实存在,人参与了世界万物的创化,而在这种创化过程中,中国古人非常注意化人为成自然,孜孜以求人为、人事、人道与天道的协调一致性,始终强调世界和谐的必要性和重要性,深刻地洞察到:(1)只有在天地人三才和谐的基础上,才真正能够使人为的事情变得自然而然;(2)世界的和谐是天地人三者一体的和谐,仅仅人类一方孤立的和谐是不可能的,因为失去了天地与人的和谐,人类的和谐便失去了基础;(3)我们人类所身处其中的世界的变化运行,人类并不是置身事外的旁观者,人类的所作所为或直接或间接地影响着世间万物的生息繁衍,因而很自然地人类对世界失衡的生态及其向和谐目标的趋近显然也负有一种不可推卸的责任。

In Zhouyi,the idea ＂Union of Man and Nature＂ focuses on three original elements ＂nature,earth and human being＂ and the combination of the three.In regards to the idea,human is not passive being but active in the creation and changing of the world.During the process,the ancient people of China paid close attention to making the artificial into one of nature,and persistently pursuing the coordination between the artificial,social affairs,human morality and the law of nature,emphasizing on the necessity and significance of word harmony.It is viewed that：（1） the artificial could become natural only on the basis of the harmony of the three elements ＂nature,earth and human beings＂;（2） the harmony of the world is the harmony of the three elements.It won＇t come true in lack of any of the three elements.If the nature and earth is not in harmony with human being,the harmony of human being would lose its foundation.（3） Human being is not a passer-by but one part of the changing world.Obviously,our behaviors will affect the world around us directly or indirectly.Hence,we bear indispensable responsibility on the imbalance of ecology and trying the best to realize the harmony of ecology.
