陶渊明的形神之思与卫生之道

On Tao Yuanming's Thought of Physical and Mental Health and His Way of Preserving Healthy

养生包含养身与养心,或者说养形与养神两个向度。陶渊明任真适意,在养神方面达到了极高境界。服菊有养生延寿的作用,但陶渊明服菊并非着意养生,他的服菊更应从精神层面的文化意义上去解读,须从他的生命观念与境界说来。陶渊明说"卫生每苦拙",他最终找到的卫生之道便是回归本性,是任真自得而得此生。陶渊明养真而自得,也正合养生之道。陶渊明之于养生的现代意义,即在于追求自然的本真,为自我找到一份任真自得的天地。

Preserving health consists of two dimensions： nourishing the body and nourishing the mind, or physical nourishing and mental nourishing. Tao Yuanming enjoyed them highly and has reached very high level in the aspect of mental health. Taking chusanthemum has the function of keeping in good health and prolonging life. But Tao Yuanming＇s taking chusanthemum does not focus on keeping in good health. His serving chrysan- themum should be interpreted from the cultural meaning of spiritual level which is supposed to start from his life concept and state. Tao Yuanming said, ＂ There is no good way to keep healthy. ＂ He finally found the way to keep health is to return to nature, be self- satisfied and fulfill the life. Tao Yuanming is self＇- satisfied which complies with the way to keep healthy. The modem significance of Tao Yuanming＇s health preservation thought lies in the pursuit of natural authenticity, and in finding a world for self- reliance.
