摘要

在〈復性書〉中李翶主張「性靜情動」之說，亦即聖凡的本性皆靜，然而聖人能保持寂然不動的至誠之性，百姓則為妄情所擾動，所以不能復其真性。李翶因而提出以「靜」為核心的修養論，認為滅除妄動的情才能復歸至靜的本性。李翶此一主「靜」的性情思想與修養論刻劃著儒道兩家思想自先秦至唐代互動交流的痕跡，然而學界至今仍多半提及佛教而較少論述道教對李翶思想可能的影響。本文將在學界既有的討論基礎上，試圖進一步提出若干證據澄清扭轉此一習見。

In Fu-Xing Shu (Book of Returning to One's True Nature), Li Ao claims that the true nature of all human beings is fundamentally tranquil. However, the Sage's mind is always tranquil while ordinary people are easily disturbed by emotions so that they fail to return to their true nature. Hence Li Ao asserts the principle of tranquility as the key point of his theory of self-cultivation, whose aim is to prevent men from being disturbed by emotions and to make them regain their true nature. Most scholars only see the impact of Buddhism on Li Ao's thought, regardless of the impact of Daoism. In this paper, I argue that Li Ao's principle of tranquility can be regarded as a trace of the interaction of Confucianism and Daoism during the period of pre-Qin to Tang Dynasty.
