摘要

莊子哲學包含層面相當廣泛，若能有效而精確地擷取和掌握其智慧，則必然對我們現代人生有莫大的助益。時至二十一世紀的今天，美容議題是現代人相當感興趣，無論是外在形貌的美容，還是內在心靈課程，已成為生活不可忽略的一環，但即便現今的科技可鬼斧神工地改造人的外在，然而任何絕世美女或俊男都會年華老去，老邁時若還能令人心醉傾倒，就得仰賴內在美，如善良、體貼、幽默、溫柔、慷慨及熱愛世界等特質，這才是具有深度及恆久吸引力的美容良方。《莊子‧德充符》提出「才全」與「德不形」的哲學思維，使人從中認識最內在的真正自我，並了解「道」給人容貌，「天」給人形體，從而順應自然，破除外在美醜與殘缺的觀念，就是最有效的美容良方。當然莊子強調的美容乃在心境上的超越，這新穎的觀念不僅在理論方面深化對美容的認識，並且在實踐方面，也提供不少親切的指點，使我們成為真正美麗與健康的人。本文即抱著拋磚引玉的心態，多元開闢莊子哲學的研究途徑，也為現代人建立嶄新的現代美容觀，透過這種心靈美容，使我們的生命自然能流露一種極大的吸引力，從而成為真正有智慧而美麗的人。

Chuang Tzu's philosophy is abstruse and exquisite. Aspects it includes are comprehensive. If we can grasp and capture its wisdom precisely and efficiently then it will be a great help to the life of the modern. Nowadays, cosmetology become one of the necessary activities in our lives. Although the modern scientific method can rebuild our external marvelously every beautiful woman and handsome man will fade away. If they still can be enraptured and fascinated then they can not rely upon their external but upon their inner virtue such as kindness, consideration, humor, tenderness, generosity and loving the whole world. Those are the best recipe to attract the others deeply and constantly. Chuang Tzu proposed ＂intrinsic virtue was full but has not shown to the outside world＂ to cultivate this recipe. It helps us to realize the inner self as well as understand the Tao gives us to appearance and heauen gives us body in order to eliminate the concept of external beauty, ugliness and disablement. According to the above facts, Chuang Tzu emphasized upon that the true cosmetology is the transcendence of our mind. It not only makes us understand of cosmetology deeper theoretically but also provides us some kind guidance practically so that we shall become a beautiful and healthful person. Unfortunately, there are too many scholars to study his philosophy but study his thought of cosmetology is very rare. This paper just aims at throwing a minnow to catch a whale in order to open a brand new way for Chuang Tzu's philosophy and set up a sound and accurate art modern cosmetology. We can reveal some great attraction naturally through this kind of mental cosmetology. And so we can become a ＂beautiful＂ and ＂healthful＂ person accordingly.
