《莊子》身體觀的三維辯證：符號解構、技藝融入、氣化交換

A Three-Dimensional Dialectic of Views of the Body in Zhuangzi: Symbol Deconstruction, Blending Techniques, and Exchange of Qi Transformation

本文探討《莊子》身體觀全幅面貌。筆者發現《莊子》一書主要從三個面向展現其對身體的洞察：一是從禮教身體的批判觀點入手，呈現出符號解構的精神；其次從工匠身體的觀照角度入手，呈現出技藝融入的精神；其三則由真人身體的超越面向入手，呈現氣化交換的精神。文中進一步分析這三個面向間的辯證關係，最後將《莊子》身體觀的圓融姿態，界定在符號身體與氣化身體的統合無礙。

This paper discusses the holistic view of the body in Zhuangzi 莊子. Zhuangzi’s treatment of the body can be analyzed from three angles. First, criticism of the body from a ritual and propriety aspect expresses a spirit of symbol deconstruction. Second, the artisanal view of the body sees it as a spirit of blending techniques. Third, from a transcendent view of the body of the zhenren (True Man), a spirit of exchange of qi 氣 transformation is expressed. This paper further analyzes the dialectical relationship among these three aspects. Finally, a complete view of the body in Zhuangzi is defined in the seamless integration of the body as a symbol and the qi transformation of the body.
