黄宪魅力发微

On the Charm of Huang Xian

黄宪是东汉后期一个平凡却又引人注目的人物,他以自身的魅力赢得了士人的广泛赞誉,被后人视作"一个谜样的人物"。本文揭示,黄宪的魅力源自于道家思想的影响,是他忠实实践道家思想的结果。而黄宪之所以能在士大夫中赢得广泛的钦佩与赞誉,又与当时社会处于思想变革时期有着密切的关系。作为道家思想塑造出来的真实典型,黄宪为处于传统信仰、价值观念崩溃、行为失去依据而矛盾困惑、焦虑不安之中的士人撑起了一个心灵的避难之所,吸引着人们与之亲近。

Huang Xian, an ordinary and noticeable figure in the late Eastern Han dynasty, won wide praise of scholars and was regarded as a riddle. It is pointed out that Huang Xian's charm lies in the influence of Taoism upon him. The reason why the literati admired him is that he lived in the period of ideological changes. As a representative of Taoism, Huang Xian provided a mental refuge for those scholar-officials who were on the thorn because the traditional beliefs and values collapsed and they were at a loss what to do.
