During the Late Ming, the minds of intellects metamorphose and transform unprecedentedly. Full of new and exotic colors, this change manifests itself in the intellects' life style, philosophy of life, value proclivities, aesthetics, and literature forms. This change is actually closely related to the various Tzu-shih theories (自適說) in the Late Ming. Among them, Yuan Hung-tao's (袁宏道) Tzu-shih theory most greatly influences the shifts of the Tzu-shih culture during the Late Ming. Therefore this paper centers on Yuan's Tzu-shih theory and examines the changing course of the various Tzu-shih theories in the Late Ming. This paper is divided into two parts: the General Discussion and the Separate Discussion. The General Discussion focuses on the shifts of Yuan's Tzu-shih theory, basing on three aspects: Yuan's understanding of the third Dharma-realm in which all phenomenal things are interfused with the nonmental principle (Li-shih-wu-ai, 理事無礙), his inability to reach the forth Dharma-realm in which all phenomenal things are mutually unhindered and interfused (Shih-shih-wu-ai, 事事無礙), and his attitudes of following conditions and spontaneity (Sui-yuan-jen-yun, 隨緣任運). The Separate Discussion centers on the cultural presentation of the Tzu-shih theories, exploring the theme from three perspectives: the self-expressive art, the presentation of social attitudes, and the free shifts between official positions and seclusion. This paper manifests that Yuan Hung-tao's Tzu-shih theory not only plays an important role in enlightening literary art, social consciousness and the individual's attitudes to going in and out of the society, but also greatly influences the Tzu-shih culture during the Late Ming. Meanwhile this paper also reveals the changing course of the Tzu-shih culture during the Late Ming. |
