对《淮南子》因势思想的探讨

Discussion on the Thought of"Yin Shi"in"Huai Nan Zi"

《淮南子》一书的因势思想,作为汉初道家解决宇宙之道体与现实人生之用相贯通的一种尝试性思想手段,以道为最高依据,以道所赋予万物的独特之性为一切行为的最终标准与尺度,区分了道性与物性,在道性所贯彻的物性之下要求人们循物性而因事势。《淮南子》提出“心虚”的修养手段,通过修心而达人本真清净之性,进而在人本真清净之性的观照下,洞彻隐藏于纷繁事物下的万物真实之性,最终达到执本守要,防范于势之未生,顺势于势之已成的悠游之境。

The thought of"Yin Shi"in"Huainan Zi"is an attempt to solve the problem of the universe and the use of real life in the early Han Dynasty.It takes Dao as the highest basis and the unique nature of all things endowed by Dao as the final standard and yardstick of all behaviors.It distinguishes Dao nature and material nature.Under the material nature implemented by Dao nature,people are required to follow the material nature and depend on the situation of events,so that man is at the same time under the guidance of the supreme way,but also in concrete things."Huainan Zi"also puts forward the cultivation means of"Xin Xu"through the cultivation of the mind to master the nature of the true and pure,then penetrating the real nature of all things under the observation of the nature of the true and pure people,and finally achieving the implementation of the nature,guard against the risk of the unborn as well as a leisure state of free mind.
