从《庄子》浑沌词族看“浑沌之死”的具体含义

The Implication of the Death of Emperor Hun Dun from Words Associated with the Emperor in Zhuangzi

《应帝王》篇"浑沌之死"的寓言之含义历来解释纷纭。《庄子》中(尤其在外篇)有许多与"浑沌"义近或相关的词汇,是为浑沌词族。对书中的浑沌词族进行归类分析,有助于理解浑沌之死的具体含义。它们涉及的全部是治身和反治世问题,而以治身修道方法为核心。浑沌之死讲的是闭目塞听的治身修道状态被打破,从而萌生聪明智巧,丧失真性,走向衰亡。它也可以从反治世的角度理解,但目的是强调修好自身而天下自治。

The allegory about the death of emperor Hun Dun has been interpreted in many ways.There are many words in Zhuangzi that are related to the emperor,forming the Hun Dun’s word family.By categorising and analysing the word family in this book,it helps us to understand the specific implication of the emperor’s death.It can be seen that the word family of Hun Dun in Zhuangz are basically related to self-reflection and state governance,and its core lies in self-reflection.The Hun Dun’s death is about breaking the self-reflection in the practice of isolating oneself from the outside world.Then,smart ideas were bred,true nature was lost and he was stepping towards death.It can also be interpreted from the perspective of anti-government,but the purpose is to emphasize self-reflection to become a better self and then the world will become harmonious and peaceful without governnance.
