成玄英"重玄"论的道教思想

On the Taoism in Cheng Xuanying's Theory of "Abstruse Metap hysics

初唐道士成玄英是唐代道教"重玄"论思想的重要代表。他认为"道"最基本的特点是"虚通";"道"作为本体既没有实体性,也没有抽象性,而具有一种现象性。这反映了唐代道教哲学比较高的思辨水平。在这一"道"论思想的基础上,成玄英阐述了其"万类参差无非独化者也"的物质观,"道契重玄,境智双绝"的认识论和方法论,"因其素分,任其天然"的社会观和人生观。成玄英"重玄"论的道教思想在有唐一代思想中占有重要地位。

As one of the leading representatives of the theor y of 'Abstruse Metaphysics' in the early Tang Dynasty, the Taoist Cheng Xuany ing beli eved that the essential characteristic of 'Tao' was 'shapeless universality' . 'Tao' as the subject was neither shapable nor abstract but phenomenal, which ind icated that Taoist philosophy in the Tang Dynasty had reached a relatively high metaphysical level. On the basis of his theory of 'Tao', Cheng Xuanying expoun ded the view of material of 'Everything varies for individuality', the epistem ology and methodology of 'The essence of Tao is abstruseness, which marks the s upreme realm and understanding of Tao' and the view of society and life of 'di ffering as property shows and appearing as nature is'. Cheng Xuanying's Taoism of 'abstruse metaphysics' took an important place in the ideological world of the Tang Dynasty.
