论尸子对老子学的吸收转化

On Shi Zi's Absorption and Transform to Laoism Theory

尸子为魏国人,思想以儒家为主,偏向曾子、子思一脉。他对子夏、吴起的思想颇为重视,也研习了老莱子、墨子、列子、田子等人的学说,且试图博取众长,成一家之言。在此基础上他对老子学进行吸收与转化:接受了太一论、道体混成说,对宇宙论、盖天说作了进一步发展;法道方面,兼取全生保身派和君王南面术派老学,但以后者为落脚点,吸收了君鱼民水、公心慈爱、精简礼乐、不敢为天下先等理念,并予以刑名法势术转化,以期实现无为而治、获得恒名的治国理想。他的这些相关理念对此后的老子学发展也有较大影响。

Shi Zi was a thinker of Wei, whose thought was dominated by Confucianism, deeply influenced by Zeng Zi and Zisi. He was very attentive to Zixia and Wu Qi＇ s thoughts and also studied the doctrines of Laolaizi, Mozi, Liezi, Tianzi and others. He tried to absorb the advantages of each point of the views to form his own doctrine, and also to absorb and transform Laoism theory in the context. He accepted the theory of Taiyi and Tao to made a further development of Cosmology and Gai Tian theory. In the aspect of practice Tao, he absorbed the self - cultiva- tion technique and the idea of governing country, and with the latter as the focus. He absorbed the ideas about ＂monarch is the fish, people are water＂,＂ selfless and kindness＂ ,＂ streamlining system of rites and music＂ and ＂no dare for the first＂ which were form Laoism, and constructed the theory by Xingming and fa Shi Shu. He hoped to achieve the idea of actionless governance and having permanent reputation through this way. His idea had a huge impact to the development of Laoism.
