论觉浪道盛的“以儒解庄”思想

On Juelang Daosheng's Idea of “Explaining Zhuang Zi's Philosophy with Confucianism”

尽管在几千年的历史流变中,《庄子》呈现出了不同之相状,但主流观念仍认为《庄子》乃为《老子》思想的承继与发展,即属于道家学派。可在晚明高僧觉浪道盛看来,《庄子》实为托老聃之名,行"尧孔之实",为"儒宗教外别传"。通过对《庄子》"托孤说"的挖掘与解读,道盛不仅化解了《庄子》与儒学、佛教的长久冲突,而且还起到了保存儒、释、道圣贤真精神之价值,并在晚明特定时期起到了"以庄救世"之目的。

Despite its diverse looks in the historical development of thousands of years, Zhuang Zi has still been considered by the mainstream views as an inheritance and development of Lao Zi, namely, within the school of Taoism. However, in the opinion of Juelang Daosheng, an eminent monk in the late Ming Dynasty, Zhuang Zi was ＂an alien style of Confucianism＂, for what was duly conveyed in it was ＂Confucianism＂ in the name of Laozi. By analyzing and interpreting ＂the tale of entrusting an orphan＂ in Zhuang Zi, Juelang Daosheng not only solved the long-term conflict among Zhuang Zi, Taoism and Buddhism but also preserved the genuine spirit of the three abovementioned schools of thought, thus having performed the function of ＂salvaging the world by means of Zhuang Zi＇s philosophy＂ in a specific period of late Ming Dynasty.
