Abstract

ABSTRACT The story of the butcher Pao Ding is one of the best known from the Zhuangzi 莊子. The key concept in this story is yangsheng 養生. This has been understood as involving the preservation of life through various methods of cultivation. However, one insightful perspective has yet to be considered: work. This article sets the stage for understanding yangsheng in terms of work by appealing to Western and Eastern understandings thereof. It then locates the Zhuangzi in contemporary discourse on yangsheng showing that it rejects that concerned with regulating the senses in search of life and accepts that concerned with the activities constitutive of livelihoods. This article then analyzes the relationship between sheng 生 and xing 性 to show that yangsheng is best understood as ‘making a living’ that emerges in the process of individual and collective lives as they unfold in various contexts.

摘要屠夫鲍丁的故事是《庄子》中最著名的故事之一莊子. 这个故事的核心概念是杨生養生. 这被理解为通过各种培养方法来保护生命。然而，还有一个深刻的观点有待考虑：工作。本文通过对西方和东方对杨生作品的理解，为从作品的角度理解杨生奠定了基础。在当代杨生话语中，《庄子》的定位表明，它拒绝关注生命意义的调控，接受关注生计活动的调控。本文进而分析了盛生和xing性以表明杨生最好被理解为“谋生”，它出现在个人和集体生活的过程中，因为它们在不同的背景下展开。
