從「一陽之氣」看羅近溪身體觀

A View of Luo Jinxi's Body Philosophy from “Yi Yang Zhi Qi”

關於羅近溪思想研究，目前學界多著力於其心性論上。本文乃轉以「氣—身體」的詮釋策略，透過羅近溪氣論核心思想－「一陽之氣」的討論，及由此角度論述羅近溪身體觀的四大議題，揭示了以「心學」為典範者所看不到的面相：羅近溪所謂「一陽之氣」乃在人的「海底紅輪」深層意識處，唯有透過身體的「修身」，才能讓意識底層的「一陽之氣」流通於整個身體四肢，恢復往昔赤子般性情與天道相貫通的境界，該「氣—身體」在此時的「倏然以自動，奮然以自興」，不但能使得仁心感通興發，道出宇宙間重大的天理性命消息，甚而能達於詩歌、音樂、舞蹈渾融一體，人完全忘我的意識深層狀態。常在此狀態下的人，不但能與天地生生不息之氣同流，養生長壽，其原本因情識執著所造成的身體不順，更能獲得充分的療癒，羅近溪這樣的「氣—身體」觀念無非指向著儒家的終極目標－安身立命，並在安身立命中體證天理流行的宇宙實相！

With regard to research in Luo Jinxi's thoughts, most current studies emphasize discussions of theory of mind nature. Based on the interpretative strategy of “Qi - Body,” this essay brings to light the “philosophy of mind” through the discussion of Luo's core thought of qi theory, “Yi Yang Zhi Qi” (Energy Flow of One Yang), and the discourse of four issues on his body philosophy from this perspective. Luo's “Yi Yang Zhi Qi” lies in the profoundly deep consciousness of “Muladhara Chakra,” and his “Yi Yang Zhi Qi” can circulate to the extremities only thorough the self-cultivation of body that it recovers to the state of naive temperament in the past and extendable rule of principle of heaven. Meanwhile, “sudden rush for self movement and self rousing” of “Qi - Body” not only can make benevolent mind open itself to be affected by invigoration that indicates the message of important principle of heaven life in the cosmos, but also can harmonize with poem, music, and dance to reach the state of self-forgetfulness of profoundly deep consciousness. Man being always in such state can flow together with the everlasting qi of universe to lead a life in a state of cultivation and live long, and the physical discomfort caused by conscious persistence can further be fully healed. Luo's concept of “Qi - Body” is nothing but the ultimate goal of Confucianism, settlement of life, and realization of the truth of cosmos of principle of heaven in the state of settlement of life.
