黄老道家顺任自然的生命修养论

On HuangLao Taoism's Life Principles of Aligning Spiritually with Natural Forces

在生命修养问题上,黄老道家不再如老庄道家那样偏重于追求心灵自由和精神超越,而是更加关注生命体本身的呵护与保养,不仅具有丰富的养生理论,对于养生技术和方法的探讨也十分精到,为中医学奠定了重要的理论基础,也成为道教养生学的主要理论来源。"重身轻物"、"全生适欲"的养形理论,"行气健形"、"炼气通神"、"和气顺天"的养气理论,"以神制形"、"调和情志"的养神理论,三者相区别而又相互联系,共同构成黄老道家顺任自然的生命修养论。

Regarding,life and living tenets,formerly LaoZhuang Taoism stresses on spiritual freedom and transcendence, while HunagLao Taoism focuses on the care and cultivation of life itself.HuangLao Taoists propose abundance of health regi-men,which elaborates on health-improving techniques and strategies,lays the foundation for traditional Chinese medicine and originates the philosophical doctrines of healthcare of Taoism.Three aspects of Form,Qi（air）,and Sheng（spirit）are dis-cussed：Form doctrine of health above wealth,moderation and compassion;Air doctrine of smoothing air and improving physi-cal health,exercising air and enhancing spirit,harmonizing air and resigning to Nature;Spirit doctrine of spirit ruling form, and abstention from desires.These three layers of doctrines are distinctive yet interconnected,forming a unified theory of HuangLao Taoism’s living in harmony with the natural forces.
