Abstract

ABSTRACT To advance our understanding of both the Book of Zhuāngzǐ 莊子 (c. fourth to third century BCE) and Qián Mù 錢穆 (1895–1990)’s Zhuāngzǐ studies 莊學, I aim to squarely face one of the more obscure passages in the former with recourse to an explanation from the latter. The passage in question is that from the second chapter beginning with the claim ‘there is a beginning’ (有始也者) and culminating with the claim that ‘there has not yet begun to be a “there has not yet begun to be nothing”’ (有未始有夫未始有無也者). I hope to show that Qián offers a compelling and novel interpretation of this difficult passage worthy of our consideration.

钱穆读庄子:关于“还没有开始有”“还没有开始有”

为了增进我们对Zhuāngzǐ《西传》(公元前4世纪至公元前3世纪)和Qián Mù《》(1895-1990)Zhuāngzǐ《西传》研究的理解，我的目标是直接面对前者中较晦涩的段落之一，并求助于后者的解释。所讨论的段落是从第二章开始，声称“有一个开始”(有一个开始)，并以声称“还没有开始有一个“还没有开始没有任何东西”(有一个开始)结束。”我希望表明Qián对这段值得我们考虑的困难段落提供了令人信服和新颖的解释。
