论先秦道家的“夜行”

On“夜行”of Taoist in the Pre-Qin dynasty

《冠子》中的《夜行》篇主要讲述了道家的某些思想。所谓“夜行”即《管子》的《形势》篇中所言的“心行” ,具体而言 ,就是于内心行道 ,不待见于具体行事 ,已能达到招远亲近而有天下的效果。

The book “冠子” enunciates some thoughts of Taoist . What is called “夜行” is “心行” which had been expressed in “管子·形势篇”. Specifically speaking, “夜行” is to carry out Tao in one’s heart, unnecessarily in concrete conduct. It could achieve the aims of attracting the people from far and being close to the people nearby and thus possessing the whole country.
