生命观意蕴中老子的“婴儿”观

The Lao-Tzu's Thoughts of "Infant" in Connotation of View of Life

老子特别重视"婴儿",因为婴儿自身包含了众多"道"的特性。婴儿是生命的开始,其蕴含着强大的生命力,"婴儿"是生命永恒的象征。但生命不可能只停留于"婴儿"时期,生命存在于世界之中,是从婴儿走向衰老、从生走向死的过程,这一过程所体现的是生命远离道而不断地"沉沦"于世界中,成为非本真的存在,同时又超越非本真的存在,回归于"婴儿",与道为一,成为本真的存在。

Lao Tzu paid special attention to ＂infants＂,as they themselves contain a large number of features of ＂Dao＂.The infant is the beginning of life,it contains a strong vitality,and ＂infant＂ is a symbol of eternal life.But life can not just stay in the ＂infant＂ phase,and the world of the existence of life,from infants to aged,from birth to death,the process is reflected away from the ＂Dao＂ and continuously ＂sink＂ in the world,and become a non-authentic existence,beyond which the ＂Dao＂ regresses to ＂infant＂,and becoming the authentic existence.
