“庄生传颜氏之儒”：章太炎与“庄子即儒家”议题   杨海文

章太炎至少有五种文献涉及“庄子即儒家”议题：早年两种尚属消极评论，晚年三种已是积极参与。“庄生传颜氏之儒”是其画龙点睛之笔：颜子一系儒学由庄子传承，庄子是颜氏之儒的传人；传颜氏之儒的庄子是儒家，而不是道家；坐忘不是道家的本事，而是儒家的至境；即使庄子后来成了道家，但他当时也是以儒家身份，把颜子坐忘的工夫与境界记载并传承了下来。由章太炎晚年的积极参与可知，“庄子即儒家”议题不是人们习以为常的儒道互补之思所能范围，而是具有独特的思想史内涵，理应获得自身的思想史地位。

“Zhuangzi Inheriting Confucianism from Yan Hui”:

Zhang Taiyan and the Proposition of “Zhuangzi Being a Confucian”                            Yang Haiwen

In Zhang Taiyan’s works, there are at least five papers involving the proposition that “Zhuangzi is a Confucian,” in which two papers written in his early years belong to negative comments, while the three written in his later years are more positive. The proposition that “Zhuangzi inherited Confucianism from Yan Hui” is the finishing touch, which means the branch of Confucianism handed down by Yan Hui was inherited by Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi, who inherited Confucianism from Yan Hui, is a Confucian but not Taoist: “sitting in oblivion is not a kind of Taoist capacity, but the highest realm of Confucianism”; and even though Zhuangzi became a Taoist afterwards, he recorded and inherited Yan Hui’s effort and realm of “sitting in oblivion” as a Confucian. It can be known from Zhang Taiyan’s comments in his later years that the proposition could not be limited within the idea of complementation between Confucianism and Taoism as conventionally understood, but has unique ideological connotations which should hold their own position in the history of thought.
