论老子与庄子视界中的“水”

Research on the "Water" in the Vision of Laozi and Zhuangzi

水是《老子》、《庄子》中常见的意象,与老庄哲学存在密切的内在联系。在老子的视界中,水的特性近似于"道"的特性,可为体"道"者提供参照,是联结人与"道"的桥梁。在庄子的视界里,水与生命交缠、交融,是自性展现的绝佳环境,人展现自性的最高境界是"忘水"。老子与庄子对水意象的哲学沉思是以"道"为基点的"道性思维方式"的显豁,是对人与自然在价值层面的认同,亦是缓解现代人精神危机的良方。

Water is a common image in Laozi and Zhuangzi,and it has close internal relations with Laozi and Zhuangzi.In Laozi's vision,the characteristics of water are similar to the characteristics of"Tao",which can provide a reference for the people who experience"Tao",and it is a bridge connecting people and"Tao".In Zhuangzi's vision,water is intertwined with life.This is a perfect environment for self-expression.The highest realm of man's self-expression is"forget water".Laozi and Zhuangzi's philosophical meditation on the image of water is based on the"Taoism"as the starting point of the"Taoist way of thinking".It is a recognition of the value of human and nature,and is also a good way to ease the spiritual crisis of modern people.
