中英雙語話史記 第35期:先秦的道家思想
Taoism in the Per-Qin Period
先秦的道家思想Taoism, also known as Daoism, was founded by Lao Zi in the Pre-Qin Period, and developed into many schools, the most important of which were represented by Zhuang Zi and Huang-Lao (short for Huangdi and Lao Zi) respectively.
道家學派在先秦時期由老子創立，後發展成爲多種學派，其中最具代表性的分別是莊子和黃老（黃帝和老子的簡稱）。Guo Moruo (1892—1978), a famous historian, pointed out in his book Ten Criticisms that all Taoist schools regarded Too or Dao, meaning “ The Way”, as the noumenon of the cosmos.
著名歷史學家郭沫若（1892——1978）在他的著作《十批判書》中指出“道”的意思是宇宙的本體。
This means Taoism comes from the word dao, and the thoughts on dao constitute the core of the Taoist philosophy.
這說明道家來源於“道”這個詞，“道”的思想構成了道家哲學的核心。
Tao, which refers to the integration of the noumenon and rules of the cosmos, is characterized by its deep abstraction and universal significance.
道，代表宇宙本體和法則的統一，高度的抽象性與普遍意義是它的特點。Because of all this, Taoism is a doctrine, dwelling on the past and the present, covering Heaven and Man, and renowned for its tolerance and plasticity.
正因如此，道家思想是一個立足於過去與現在的教義，它涵蓋了上天與人類，因它的包容性與可塑性而聞名。As a result, more and more schools came into existence, which became an important source of ancient Chinese thinking.
所以，越來越多的學派出現了，它們是古代中國思想的一個重要來源。
