老庄道言观之内涵及其美学意义

The Connotation and Aesthetic Meaning of Lao - Zhuang's “Dao and Yan Thought”

老庄道言观强调道是终极性的最高存在,言却具有非圆满自足的局限性,故“道不可言”。只有消解了名实对应关系,并借助象与意为中介,言才能指向道、通向道。由此,通过有限的语言指向无限永恒的宇宙生命,便是老庄道言观的美学意义之所在。

Lao- Zhuang's 'Dao and Yan thought' emphasizes that Dao is the exfreme highest existence while Yan has its imperfect limitations, therefore Dao is contrary to Yan. Only by eliminating the corresponding relationship between names and entities and using images and meanings as intermediaries can Yan refer and lead to Dao. So the aesthetic meaning of Lao-Zhuang' s Dao and Yan thought lies lies in limited words referring to the unlimited eternal lives in the universe.
