《五行》篇“忧”之探析

An Analysis of “Worry” in the Five Elements

摘要: 五行篇的总目的就是让人超越经验的人道善，达到天道德。因而以往的研究集中在对“德”的梳理。然而“忧”似乎是消极的情感状态，不过其作为从善到德的起点，对其真正的含义和作用的研究是不可或缺的。本文通过对“忧”字的理解；对其在《五行》篇中含义、作用的阐述；把忧引发对生命本质的思考，改变对生命的认知，真正主动走向德的目标的过程展现出来。

Abstract: The general purpose of the Five Elements is to make people go beyond the humane goodness of experience and achieve heavenly morality. Therefore, the previous research focused on the “moral” comb. However, “worry” seems to be a negative emotional state, but as a starting point from good to virtuous, it is indispensable to study its true meaning and function. Through the understanding of the word “worry” and function in “Five Elements”, this paper triggers the reflection on the nature of life, changes the cognition of life, and shows the process of really taking the initiative to move towards the goal of virtue.
