走进生命的《论语》:《论语》研读作为一种生命的攀登

Into the Discourses of Life:The Study of the Analects of Confucius as a Life Climbing

本文从个体《论语》研读的历程出发,阐释《论语》研读与个体生命成长的内在关联。我对《论语》的研读经历了一个顶礼膜拜、反思批判到自我融入的阶段。就《论语》研读而言,我们需要的乃是倾入身心与孔子相遇,而不是把孔子作为仰视或俯瞰的对象。不仅如此,《论语》研读需要我们用整个的生命来绎读,用我们的一生来追寻仁爱之路,诠释仁爱的真谛。《论语》本身关乎每个中国人之个体成人的中华文化之精神根脉,《论语》研读乃是一种文化的承担。就个体自身而言,研读《论语》,意在打开我们作为中国人生命意义之本与源,让我们在一种民族文化的回返中重新甄定自我。

This article starts from the process of reading Analects of Confucius and explains the internal relationship between the reading of Analects and the growth of an individual's life.My study of Analects of Confucius has gone through a stage of worship,reflection and criticism,and self-integration.As far as the study of Analects is concerned,what we need is to devote ourselves to encounter with Confucius,rather than treating him as an object to look up or down.In addition,the study of Analects of Confucius requires us to spend our entire lives to interpret the true meaning of benevolence.Analects of Confucius itself is the spiritual root of Chinese culture that concerns the growth of each Chinese individual,and the study of Analects of Confucius is a cultural commitment.For the individuals,the study of Analects is meant to open up the essence and source of the meaning of our lives as Chinese people,and to allow us to re-define ourselves in the return of a national culture.
