摘要:
Trough the interpretation of Laotse's mysticism, QIAN Zhong-shu makes in-depth analysis of the speech pattern of mysticism. After interpreting the first chapter of Laotse, QIAN puts forward the thesis that it is the non-speakable nature of Tao (道) that allows for various interpretation of Tao. On this basis, QIAN sharply criticizes the radical proposal of mysticism that saints should keep sagely silence, and believes the proposal contains insurmountable internal contradictions. QIAN points out that mysticism, by using dialectical method such as Laotse's belief of "Tao is perpetual motion of contradiction", has its own way of expression: using words to invalidate words or validating what it means by saying less and even the opposite. QIAN's analysis of the speech pattern of mysticism is closely related to his exposition of related literary issues.
