"Delighting Yourself with the Divine Principle":Lin Xiyi's Interpretation of Zhuangzi Leisurely Tour
Leisurely Tour is the"programme of the whole book"of Zhuangzi,in which"Easy Travel","the debate of size","the debate of existence and non-existence"are the core issues of this chapter.These issues are the core issues of the book,and they are related to Zhuangzi's ontology,cultiva-tion,and realm theory,which are the main focus of Zhuangzi studies.Stand-ing in the position of Confucianism,Lin Xiyi interprets"Leisurely Tour"in terms of"the joy of Confucius and Yan",i.e.,"Joyful Interpretation of Lei-surely Tour",and based on this,"Joy"interprets"Size"and"Freedom",i.e.,"Joyful Interpretation".Additionally,he used"music"to interpret"size"and"existence",which became a model for the Song dynasty's interpretation of"Leisurely Tour".By employing music as a lens to analyze the entire text of Leisurely Tour,Lin Xiyi not only enriches its philosophical connotations but also offers a new direction for integrating Confucianism,Buddhism,and Taoism.
