A Study Of The Philosophical Thoughts And Characteristics Of Nanhuazhenjingxinzhuan

Wang Pang’ Nanhuazhenjingxinzhuan(hereinafter referred to as Xinzhuan)is a work worthy of study.Wang Pang is spontaneous and undisciplined,who thought that previous books are not to the point of Zhuang Zi.So he decided to interpret Zhuang Zi by Zhuang Zi.He learned Confucianism,Buddhism and Taoism,stood in the zeitgeist of "Sanjiaoronghe",and stood at the forefront of reform.These features are combined into the work,which makes Xinzhuan distinctive.The text of this paper is divided into three chapters:The first chapter combs and researches Wang Pang and his books.Xinzhuan is the "resultant" of many factors.The author is spontaneous and austere.although taking Confucianism as the standard,he doesn’t exclude Buddhism and Taoism,and shows the ideological tendency of integration of the three religions,"Benxinjuzudao" and "Wuweierzhi" in his another book "Laozixunzhuan".Wang Pang is also an important member of Jinggong School.The school has several commonalities: think Zhuang Zi as a book of governing the world;talking about "Xingmindaode" a lot;Committed to the application of the world.Xinzhuan was written in the Northern Song Dynasty when the internal troubles and foreign invasion abounded.A group of wise people want to reform.After long-term development,the integration of the three religions reached a new height in the Northern Song Dynasty.These factors contribute to the uniqueness of the Xinzhuan.The second chapter studies the academic characteristics of the Xinzhuan.This paper constructs the ideological system of Xinzhuan with the theory of root,epistemology and life.The original root is Way,Way originated from Laozi.Zhuang Zi inherited and developed the Way theory of Lao Zi.Way of Zhuangzi mainly has the characteristics of "Zibenzigen","Shengtianshengdi","Wuxingwuxiang","Ziranwuwei",and "the total basis of all things".Wang pang’s Way has the characteristics of ontology and epistemology.In addition to further explaining the five characteristics of Zhuang Zi’s Way,he also put forward that Way has both "You" and "Wu",and argued that we should not praise the "Wu" while disparage the "You" base on the non-difference of Way,which strengthened the existence and usefulness of Way,which should be related to his position of supporting the reform.In terms of epistemology,Wang Pang not only interpreted Zhuang Zi’s "Qiwu" and "Zhenzhi" thought,but also puts forward the "Wuwotonggen" to demonstrate that all things are in equal,and separate view should not be made.In the aspect of life theory,Wang Pang thinks that the form is bound,language is separate,Way is invisible and non-difference,we should view invisible from the visible,from the difference meet the original phase,from language to silence.The third chapter analyzes how Wang Pang interprets "Zhuang Zi" by Buddhism and by Confucianism in Xinzhuan.There are five parts on Buddhism,Firstly,"Wuwo" release Way.Wang Pang highlights the "Wuwo" thought from everywhere in "Zhuang Zi" and names it with a clear meaning of philosophical category "Wuwo".Secondly,"Zhenjun".Wang Pang clearly defines "Zhenjun" as the inherent of human being,and "Zhenjun" be bound with Way.That has some similarities with the spirit of Buddhism,which maybe a reference;Thirdly,the "Fajie".Although Wang Pang uses the word "Fajie",the connotation is not the same with the Buddhist "Fajie";Fourthly,"Zhenkong".Wang Pang uses "Zhenkong" express the invisible of Way,or express the holy man’s carelessness in things,which is different from the "Zhenkong" of Buddhism;Fifthly,"Xinwusuoxi".Wang Pang generalizes Zhuang Zi’s "Daoshu","Xiaoyao","Wuwei","Anshichushun" and other thoughts into the "Xinwusuoxi".When Wang Pang uses Buddhist’s words to analyze "Zhuang Zi",most of the Buddhist vocabulary quoted by Wang Pang is a use of "Geyi",which is different from the original meaning of Buddhist vocabulary.Further study of Xinzhuan is to highlight the difference between the two theoretical systems of Buddhism and Taoism.There are two parts on Confucianism,one is to promote "Renyi".Zhuang Zi criticizes "Renyi",but Wang Pang thinks that "Renyi" is not damaging nature,and "Renyi" can be a tool of returning to Way;The other is to praise Confucius.In "Zhuangzi",Confucius mostly plays the image of "Fangneizhibin".The image of Confucius in the Xinzhuan is the image of a saint who is free and carefree outside the world,meanwhile doing things in the world.From this we can see the efforts of Wang Pang to reconcile the contradictions between Confucianism and Taoism.On the basis of "Yizhuangjiezhuang",the Xinzhuan gives a new interpretation by invoking the thoughts of Buddhism and Confucianism,which enricfies the connotation of "Zhuangzi" and has theoretical significance and practical value.
