一代完人 尊道贵德——浅谈李光地崇尚道家思想

On Li Guangdi's Advocation of Taoism——Discussion on Li Guangdi's Zeal for Taoism

"儒林巨擘"李光地思想文化结构特殊,既尊孔又敬老。他崇尚老子"无为而无不为"的思想,在辅助康熙皇帝平定"三藩之乱"、收复台湾、统一中国,整顿吏治、举贤惩贪,疏治"三河",废除圈地,直面储君风波、吸纳西学等棘手难题方面,既不妄为、不强为,而又无所不为,为创建康熙盛世,竭尽了股肱之力;他以道家"和合"观念,力促上下交治、满汉和睦;阐发"相生""相对""知止不殆"等哲理,津筏斯民,严治本族,相通相济,共享太平;顺应自然,呼吁"天人合一",保护生态。他毕生不仅注重对易学阴阳的阐发,而且着力成功应用于诸多领域。其思想文化中的精髓,很值得作为一种独特的战略资源,加以保护传承、发扬光大。

Though a Confucian scholar,Li Guangdi showed great respect to Laotse. He advocated Laotse's thought of "To govern by doing nothing'. He assisted Emperor Kangxi to put down The Revolt of the Three Feudatories, restore the rule of Taiwan, rectify the administration of officials, solve river disasters in Chihli Province,abolish Manchurian aristocrats' enclosures, face the political storm to determin the next Emperor, and absorb the Western learning. Guided by Taoist thought of harmony, he did his utmost to promote the peaceful coexistence between the upper and lower classes, and between Man and Han nationalities as well. He elucidated his thoughts on some philosophical terms, like mutual growth,relativity, and so on. He also complied with nature,called for "the harmony between man and nature", and tried to protect the ecology.In short, heattached great importance to theelucidation of the Book of Changes, and successfully applied it to his practices. Such should be the essence of his thoughts ,and deserves our further inheritance and promotion.
