Abstract:Considering there are some misunderstanding in academia that taking “reposing the words to express meaning” as the radical method of Guo Xiang’s annotation on Chuang Tzu, also regarding it as the radical method of unifying Confucianism and Taoism,reconciling “nature” and “the Confucian ethical code”,and establishing philosophy system,this paper follows those scholars to start a new research to propose and demonstrate three kinds of main interpretation methodology of Guo Xiang’s Chuang Tzu’s Note: The first of all,Guo Xiang mentioned that achieving the spiritual essence and ignoring the expression method,namely finding the true meaning expressed by original author by “reposing the words”. Secondly,he specifically analyzed the art of the composition of the text,explaining and inferring step by step. Thirdly,Guo Xiang maintained that the interpreters should participate in the argument of the classical text to explicate the art of the composition. This paper holds the opinion that all the three kinds of interpretation methodology are mutually complementary as well as independent of each other,which is also the essential characteristics and uniqueness of Guo Xiang’s Chuang Tzu’s Note.
