“命”和“时”是庄子人生哲学中的两个重要概念,两者之间既有区别又有联系。其共同点在于它们都是客观的;其不同点是“命”是不可认识的,人在命运面前无能为力,而“时”却可以认识,人能够在认识“时”的基础上发挥主观能动性以适应“时”的需要。认识到此,对人的活动有重大的指导作用。 “Life” and “time” are two important concepts in Zhuangzi’s philosophy of life. There are both differences and connections between them. Their common ground is that all of them are objective; their difference is that “life” is unrecognizable, man can not help in the face of destiny, while “time” can recognize that man can exert subjective initiative on the basis of knowing “time” Adapt to the “time” needs. Realizing this has a great guiding effect on people’s activities.
