中國佛學思想對中國武術的影響深遠,「禪學」、「中觀哲學」所闡述之「中道義」對中國武術修煉上的觀念、方法及哲學、美學的思維等起著引領的作用。中國武術「審美判斷」的形成深受中國道家之「道」與佛家之「禪」或「中觀」的影響。「中觀哲學」之「空義」與武術之「道」是義同言異,本文從「中觀哲學」之「緣起性空」的思維切入,探究中國武術技能表現之「審美判斷」。透過對「中觀哲學」之「空義」的解析,推衍出中國武術之「融合的拳禪藝」與「超越的活動義」的「審美判斷」,這是一種「身體心靈化」、「心靈身體化」的表現,它無不真切地引領著中國武術內在意境與外在技能的涵養與修煉。「身體心靈化」、「心靈身體化」的內涵意蘊也就是「中道義」,它具備了「融合性」與「超越性」。
The thoughts of Buddhism has a great influence on Chinese martial arts. The meanings of the Middle Way of ”Madhyamika Philosophy” has an effect on leading the methods of Chinese martial arts and philosophic esthetics judgment. The form of Chinese martial arts esthetics judgment has deeply affected by Dao of Taoism and ”Madhyamika” of Buddhism. ”Emptiness” of “Madhyamika” and ”Dao” of martial arts are synonyms. This article was based on the views of ”Dependent origination and dharmata emptiness” (緣起性空)of Madhyamika Philosophy to explore the intention of Chinese martial arts esthetics judgment. By its analysis, we can conclude that the esthetics judgment is not only a physical activity but is also combined with Quan and Chan as well as ”Body-mystical and mystical-Body.” It leads people to practice the internal meanings and external skill of the Chinese martial arts. The meaning of ”Body-mystical and mystical-Body” is the same as ”Madhyamika.”
