“玄风”与“玄学”辨

Study on Difference between "Xuan Xue" and "Xuan Feng"

对于魏晋时期的思想学说,学界一般统称为"魏晋玄学"。而追溯魏晋时期的最初史料文本,较"玄学"出现更多的却是"玄风"一词,二者所意蕴大有不同:"玄学"特指对"三玄"的学习,即老庄道家之学,与"儒"、"史"、"文"并称为"四学";而"玄风"则偏重艺术、审美与社会风尚层面。从指代魏晋哲学这一层面上看,称之为"魏晋玄风"较"魏晋玄学"更为贴切,更能够体现魏晋崇尚自然、旷达不羁的文化特质与时代特征。

Academia generally refer to the philosophy of Wei and Jin Dynasties as ＂Wei Jin Xuan Xue＂. According to the earliest historical record,＂ Xuan Feng＂ appears more frequently than ＂Xuan Xue＂ and has little implication in common with ＂Xuan Xue＂ .＂ Xuan Xue＂ specifically refers to the study of ＂San Xuan＂ which is Taoism from Laozi and Zhuangzi. ＂Xuan Xue＂ , ＂Confucianism＂ , ＂History ＂ and literature＂ were historically defined as ＂ Four Studies＂. ＂Xuan Feng＂ emphasizes art, aesthetics and social fashion. From the viewpoint of referring the phi- losophy of Wei Jin, ＂Wei Jin Xuan Feng＂ is more appropriate than ＂Wei Jin Xuan Xue＂ to express the key point of the philosophy of Wei Jin. ＂Wei Jin Xuan Xue＂ can felicitously cover the cultural characteristics and feature of times advocating nature and broading unconstrained mind.
