庄子“由技入道”观及其现代价值

Chuang Tzu s View of“from Technique to Tao”and Its Modern Value

《庄子》中塑造了诸多身怀绝技的劳动者形象,这些劳动者既是从事平凡职业的普通人,也是在劳动过程中由“技”入“道”的真人。“由技入道”观表明,人能在自主自由的劳动实践中,通过去除己见、体悟自然之理来通达生命自由之境。“由技入道”的方法论主要包括:非志不取的劳动选择、用神不分的劳动心境、忘己入天的劳动艺术。庄子“由技入道”观暗含了劳动解放的思想蕴意,对于现代人重新审视劳动实践,探求劳动解放以及人自身的解放都具有重要的启迪意义。

The Chuang Tzu depicts laborers with special skills,including both common people and the masters who developed to Tao from Technique in the process of labor.The view of“from Technique to Tao”expounds that people can reach the freedom realm of life through the practice of independent and free labor by removing their own opinions and understanding the principles of Tao.The methodology of the view consists primarily of adherence to personal aspirations in the choice of labor,the mind state of labor with full focus,and the art of labor in which one forgets oneself and enters natural principles.Chuang Tzu s view of“from Technique to Tao”indicates the ideology of labor liberation,which has vital enlightened implications for modern people to re-examine labor practice and explore both labor freedom and human emancipation.
