儒學是一門身心兼修之學,從內在的心性修養到外在的行為實踐,乃至經世事業之開展等等,皆有機地一體貫通。而此身心一貫之學,又具涵一種「樂」的美學境界,例如《論語》中孔子的曲肱之樂,顏回的貧而樂,《孟子》的「反身而誠,樂莫大焉」等,表現出儒者志於道的內樂。孔、顏、孟之樂皆蘊含人文化成之理想,側重於實現倫理秩序的樂,隱然成為後代儒者安頓身心的方向。而先秦的另一重要學派道家,強調的則是歸反自然之道、精神自由之樂。儒、道所開啟的二種「樂」的典型,對人的社會性存在與自然性存在,人的道德生命... more

明代湯顯祖(1550—1616)《邯鄲夢》以《枕中記》為本事,《枕中記》本以唐代歷史為據,可知《邯鄲夢》故事情節應當發生於唐代之時,而檢查《新、舊唐書》,戲曲中一些角色及事蹟的確可以證明跟唐代歷史有著千絲萬縷的關係。湯顯祖既然是明人,他的作品會否隱含著跟明代歷史相似的細節?本文即以《邯鄲夢》所述「吐蕃侵唐」之戰事為例,比對《邯鄲夢》與唐、明兩代歷史之間的異同;從而探討箇中「一事兩史」的關係。本文進一步從現存史書、詩文等材料推測:《邯鄲夢》中平定吐蕃的「盧生」,可能就是湯顯祖摯... more
