论“道”的表达与《庄子》寓言的关系

On the Relationship Between the Expression of “Dao” and the Fable of Zhuangzi

"道"是庄子思想的核心,庄子认为"道"的传达,既无法直接用精确的概念将它表述出来,也无法准确无误地让受众接受;对道的体悟,不应诉受众诸思虑及耳目,而应诉诸受众直接的心灵感悟。所以,"道"的传达不管从哪一方面来讲,都无法用概括性的语言,从抽象的概念上,作完整无缺的传达。寓言具有象征性、暗示性、不明确性和形象性与"道"的特点相吻合,非常适合用来传达"道"。

“ Dao” is the core of Zhuangzi＇s thought. Zhuangzi believes that the communication of“Dao” can neither be expressed directly by precise concepts, nor can it be accepted by the audienceaccurately. The audience can not understand “ Dao” through sense and thinking, but understand“Dao” through direct perception. Therefore, the communication of “Dao” can not be conveyed in acomprehensive language from the abstract concept, no matter from which aspect. Allegory is symbolic,suggestive, ambiguous and figurative and the characteristics of “Dao” coincide, very suitable forconveying “Dao”.
