张湛与愚公移山

Zhang Zhan and Yu Gong Moving Mountains

张湛是东晋著名玄学家,其《列子注》是《列子》现存最早版本,也是研究愚公移山精神的源头性文献。张湛注愚公移山故事时,是将其纳入到《汤问》篇,乃至整个《列子》阐释体系中,用道家思想阐释了其中所蕴含的愚本智末的主旨。其间相关注文体现了道家抱朴守愚、贵柔重弱、慎终如始、功成弗居的文化精神。

Zhang Zhan was a famous scholar who studied metaphysics in the eastern Jin Dynasty.His“Liezi Note”is the earliest extant version of“Liezi”and also the source document for studying Yugong spirit of moving mountains.When Zhang Zhan commented on the story of Yu Gong moving mountains,he interpreted it into the chapter of“Tang Wen”even the whole interpretation system of“Liezi”and used Taoism to explain the theme-advocating pristine nature and debasing crafty thoughts extracted from the story of Yu Gong moving mountains.The related annotated text reflects Taoist cultural spirit of being nature,valuing softness and weakness,being careful from the beginning to the end and owing success to others.
