吳世尚《莊子》評點研究

A Study on the “Zhuangzijie” by Wu ShiShang

在明清小說、戲曲評點的風氣下，也出現了一批為《莊子》評點的文章，他們致力於《莊子》散文特色的分析、評述，使《莊子》散文的藝術性得以被重視，吳世尚《莊子解》即是其中之一。此書亦深受時文評點之影響，包括思想方面以程朱理學詮解經義及形式上重視文章之「法」，都可以看出此書之評點受時代學術風氣及科舉考試之影響，由此觀點，亦可視此書為具時代特色的解《莊》作品。

Literary commentaries is popular over the field of novel and drama during Ming- and Qing-Dynasty and involved in the field of philosophy later which Zhuangzi is included. The importance of prose esthetics of Zhuangzi was noted after being seriously commented and analyzed by many academic writings which Wu Shishang's Zhuangzijie is one of them. Wu was greatly affected by the commentaries of essays which is for obtaining official qualification and paid too much attention on investigating the grammar of essays. Wu's Zhuangzijie revealed that how Zhuangzi made a sentence, how Zhuangzi organized the order of all chapters and what kind of words are Zhuangzi's favorite. Wu also suggested that how Zhuangzi was written and gave one introduction for each chapter which became a good guidelines for readers. Due to the trend of highly valuing Confucianism at that time, Wu inevitably explained the philosophy of Zhuangzi under the Confucian frame and thus received lots of insults. However, Wu's contributions still deserves praise.
