盘古形象与盘古精神

Images and Spirits of Pangu

战国至魏晋,人们热情地讨论天文,提出了几种宇宙模式。盘古故事是对浑天说的神话解释,以自存、自足、自生、自为的独化手段,展现自强不息的宇宙精神。其后,人们又将人性赋予盘古,他有了妻子和孩子,也同凡人一样向死而生,为了把人类与自然分离开来,他需要争分夺秒,抛弃一切累赘,保持高度专注,提升自我能力,完成开辟天地的使命。最终,盘古垂死化身,建成了人类的乐园,体现出无私奉献的圣贤精神。

From the Warring States period to the Wei and Jin Dynasties,people enthusiastically discussed astronomy and put forward several cosmological models.Pangu’s story is a mythical interpretation that is about the theory of sphere-heavens,which shows the cosmological spirit of independent by means of self-existence,self-sufficiency,self-generation and self-serving.Later,people endowed Pangu with human nature.He had a wife and children,and he was born to death just like ordinary people.In order to separate human beings from nature,he needed to seize every minute and second,abandon all encumbrances,maintain a high degree of concentration,improve his ability,and complete the mission of opening up the world.In the end,Pangu’s dying incarnation has built a paradise for human beings,reflecting the spirit of selfless dedication of sages.
