中国古代士文人对个体生命局限的超越途径

Paths for the Ancient Chinese Literati to Transcend Individual Life Limits

个体生命意识的觉醒,使中国古代士文人清晰认识到个体生命的局限性,生命的自然命定使其陷入痛苦与困惑,同时也逆向激发古代士文人挑战生命局限的勇气。通过寻觅、体验与履践,古代士文人以价值超越、亲伦超越、艺术超越、宗教超越、哲学超越等多元途径,实现了对个体生命局限性的超越,赋予个体生命更丰富、更完美的存在价值与意义。

The consciousness of individual life existence enables the ancient Chinese literati to realize the limitations of their individual existence. While the destiny of natural beings plunges them into anguish and confusion, it, in a reverse way, stimulates their defiance against this boundedness. Through questing, experiencing and practicing, they have achieved their transcendence of limited individual existence in moral values, family ties, artistic creations, as well as religious and philosophical beliefs, and endowed their individual existence with brilliance and significance.
