朱熹《中庸章句》对“赞天地之化育”的诠释——一种以人与自然和谐为中心的生态观

Zhu Xi Commentaries on“Assisting the Transforming and Nourishing Powers of Heaven and Earth”in His Textual Study of the Doctrine of the Mean

朱熹《中庸章句》对《中庸》所谓"赞天地之化育"的诠释,强调人对于自然只能起着辅助的作用,认为应当通过与自然的相互补充、相互协调,达到"与天地参",实现人与天地的和谐;同时还认为,要辅助自然,必须"至诚"、"尽性"而达到"无人欲之私",应当客观、全面地把握自然之理,并据此合理地对待自然,使之各得其宜。显然,这不仅是为了人,而且也是为了自然,应当是一种与当今备受质疑的人类中心论不同的、以人与自然和谐为中心的生态观。

In The Textual Study of the Doctrine of the Mean,Zhu Xi's Notes and Commentary on'Assisting the Transforming and Nourishing Powers of Heaven and Earth'insisted that human being have only assistive impact on the nature so as to attain'a trinity with Heaven and Earth'which is complementarities and coordination and harmony between human and nature.So,people must be perfectly sincere and actualize his own essence and not be selfish,should perceive the order of nature objectively and roundly,treat and obey nature legitimately.This is in the interest not only of people,but also of nature,and hence the raising of a sort of ecological idea regarding harmony between human and nature as a center different from the view of human-centeredness.
