基于语义分析法的中式智慧观研究

Research on the Concept of Chinese Wisdom Based on the Method of Semantic and Etymology

摘要: 汉字是一种表意文字，其本身蕴含丰富的文化内涵，作为记载中国先民心理与行为方式及其特点与规律的“活化石”，许多汉字本身折射出相当的心理学意蕴。本研究使用语义分析法对“智”“慧”和“智慧”进行语义分析，结果发现，来自古汉语中文字学和先哲相关言论方面的证据均表明，中国传统文化秉持“德才一体”的智慧观，美德和才能是构成智慧的重要组成成分，真正的智慧必然融美德和才能于一体。即真正的智慧需要有“善”的引导，智慧的本质是德才一体。

Abstract: Chinese characters are ideograms, inherently rich in cultural connotations. As the “living fossil” that records the psychology, behaviors, characteristics, and patterns of China’s ancestors, many Chinese characters inherently reflect profound psychological implications. This study employs Method of Semantic and Etymology to delve into the meanings of “智” (intelligence), “慧” (virtue), and “智慧” (wisdom). The findings reveal that evidence from the philology of ancient Chinese characters and relevant sayings of ancient sages alike indicate that traditional Chinese culture upholds a wisdom perspective that integrates virtue and intelligence. Both virtue and intelligence are essential components of wisdom, and genuine wisdom inherently combines virtue and intelligence. In other words, genuine wisdom necessitates the guidance of “goodness,” and the essence of wisdom lies in the integrity of virtue and intelligence.
