老子的修身思想发凡

Lao Zi's Thought of Self-Cultivation

老子思想中有其独特而全面的修身理论。老子所讲的修身并不是现代人所讲的养生,而是为求安身立命从而使个体生命达到"平衡"。"慈""俭""不为天下先"是老子修身思想的三大基本要素,此"三宝"不仅是提升个人修养的法宝,更是促使社会和谐的力量源泉。针对现实中存在的"欲""色""味"等有碍于个人修养养成及社会治理的现象,老子提出"清静""无为"的修养对策。"清静""无为"是老子在对道的认知与社会现实反思基础上开出的根本修养路线。因此,修身的主要目的不在于延长生命,而在于个人身心安宁社会和睦。在把握老子道学思想的基本根据与论证原则后有利于我们正确解读其修身思想,同时,也有利于更好地对传统文化资源进行发掘,并对其时代积极意义展开论证。

There is a unique and comprehensive theory of self-cultivation in the thought of laozi.What Laozi means is not the health of the modern man, but an achievement of the 'balance' of individual life. 'mercy', 'thrifty' and 'actionless governance' are the three basic elements of laozi’s mind. These are the cores that promote the personal cultivation and social harmony. Facing the phenomenon of 'lust','color' and 'taste' in the real world, they hinder the personal-cultivation and social governance. laozi puts forward the counterparts of 'quiet' and 'actionless'.They are the fundamental principles advocated by him on the reflections of Taoism.Therefore, the main purpose of the body is not to prolong life, but to keep a peace and harmonious life. Based on the understanding of the principle of his thoughts according to Taoism is helpful to understand the thought of cultivating one’s morality. Meanwhile, it is beneficial for us to excavate the era of traditional cultural resources and make positive argument on its meaning.
