瞥见庄生真面目——徐复观《中国艺术精神》中的庄子观评析

Glimpsing Zhuang-zi's Truth——Comments on Xu Fuguan's Outlook on Zhuang-ziin His Book Chinese Art Spirit

徐复观在《中国艺术精神》一书中以"艺术精神"诠释庄子,发前人所未发,也引起激烈的争论。其实,只有了解了徐复观对中国文化做"现代的疏释"的整体理路,才可能进入徐复观的语境和思想世界。徐复观所谓对庄子的"再发现"的实质是将庄子所成就的"虚静的人生"推进到"艺术的人生"。徐复观准确把握了庄子追求精神的自由解放这一实质,通过会通庄子精神与艺术精神而悟到庄子的心就是艺术精神的主体,庄子之道的精神正是彻头彻尾的艺术精神,庄子之所"成"实乃艺术的人生。徐复观对庄子的这一"再发现"并没有误读庄子,正如他自己所言是"瞥见庄生真面目",有着极为重要的价值。

In his book Chinese Art Spirit,Xu Fuguan used ＂Art Spirit＂ to interpret Zhuang-zi,Which was done by no one before and caused heated argument.In fact,only after you learn the whole way of Xu Fuguan＇s ＂Modern Interpretation＂ to Chinese culture,can you be possible to enter his words and thought world.The essence of Xu＇s re-discover to Zhuang-zi is to advance Zhuang-zi＇s ＂Nihility life＂ to ＂Art life＂.Xu Fuguan accurately grasped the truth that Zhuang-zi pursues the free of spirit.Through understanding Zhuang-zi Spirit Art Spirit,Xu learned that Zhuang-zi＇s Mind is just the subject of Art Spirit,the spirit of Zhuang-zi＇s ＂Tao＂ is just the spirit of art,Zhuang-zi＇s achivement is the art life.Xu＇s re-discover to Zhuang-zi didn＇t misread Zhuang-zi.Just like what he said himself ＂Glimpsing Zhuang-zi＇s truth＂,Xu＇s re-discover is very valuable.
