近现代庄学的新变：文学、社会价值与人生哲理的重新解读

New Changes in Modern Zhuang Studies: A Reinterpretation of Literature, Social Values, and Life Philosophy

In the history of modern cultural thought, the connotation of “literature” is quietly undergoing new changes and has been consciously defined by scholars. Although there are differences in opinions among scholars, there is generally a consensus on the basic elements of literature, among which rich thoughts and emotions and high-level artistic forms are indispensable. Both aspects have been mentioned in the study of ancient Zhuangzi. At the same time, the introduction of Western literary theory has enriched the understanding of traditional “literature”, which has also promoted the deep exploration of the literary characteristics of Zhuangzi. In addition, combining the specific content of Zhuangzi to study life philosophy has great historical significance for the study of modern philosophical thought.

在近现代文化思想史上，“文学”的内涵正在悄悄发生新变，并得到了学者们的自觉界定，虽然各家之见有所不同，但大体而言，取得了对文学基础要素的共识，其中丰富的思想情感和高度的艺术形式是不可缺少的部分。而这两方面内容在古代庄学研究中均有所言及，同时西方文学理论的引入丰富了传统“文学”的认知，这亦促进了《庄子》文学特性的深度开掘，另外结合庄学的具体内容去研读人生哲理，这本身对于研究近现代哲学思想是有巨大的历史意义。
