试析庄子“寓诸庸常”智慧

Analysis on Zhuangzi’s Wisdom of“Following the Ordinary Course”

庄子“寓诸庸常”思想并不是叫人浑浑噩噩、过一种不思进取的彻底“躺平”的混世生活。恰恰相反,庄子此一思想异常积极睿智进取,其除了内蕴着劝导世人不应避世、不应媚俗、不应凝滞于外物而应与世推移、与时俱化、虚己以游世等丰富内容之外,庄子其实或直接或间接地还是在告诫或提醒人们:(1)平凡中蕴涵着伟大,这是站在宇宙大道角度看问题必然得出的结论;(2)那些总想高人一等、总想骑在他人头上作威作福的人士,实际上是对他者存在的唯一性、存在的价值或人格的蔑视或戕害;(3)幸福不需要太多的理由,嗜欲太多或意欲拥有太多外在的名利资源,反而易于让人堕入苦海,使得明明不错的生活失去光泽、缺乏意义。

Zhuangzi’s thought of“following the ordinary course”doesn’t mean that people are confused and lead a completely“lying flat”life without thinking about progress.Quite the contrary,Zhuangzi’s thought is extremely positive,wise,and enterprising.In addition to its rich content of persuading the world not to shy away from the world,not to be kitsch,not to be stagnant in external things,but to move with the world,to change with the times,and to wander in the world with a free and empty mind.Zhuangzi is actually admonishing or reminding people directly or indirectly:(1)There is greatness in the ordinary,which is an inevitable conclusion from the perspective of the Great Way of the Universe;(2)Those who always want to be superior to others,always want to ride on others'heads to make a fortune and show their power,are actually contempt or harm to the uniqueness of existence,the value of existence or the personality of others;(3)Happiness does not need too many reasons.Too much desire or desire to have too many external fame and wealth resources is easy to make people fall into misery.
