就人类而言,死亡即意味着生命的结束。这是谁都无法否认的现实,人们也早有认识,“天地尚不能久,而况人乎?”正因为如此,大家都关注死亡,并不厌其烦地谈论它,以致于成为古今中外一个永恒的话题。在中国,历代圣贤深邃的哲学思考、芸芸众生的心理困惑和不懈的探索,为今天我们深入地考察前人对死亡的看法,提供了宝贵的经验。 近些年来,学者们又曾从不同角度探讨过中国的死亡观问题。为此,笔者不揣浅陋,也想就此略抒己见,求教于方家。 In the case of humans, death means the end of life. This is the reality that no one can deny. People have also come to realize that “Heaven and earth can not last long, but it does not matter.” For this reason, everyone is concerned about death and has not bothered to talk about it so that it has become an eternal topic at all times and in all countries . In China, the deep philosophical thinking of ancient saints and the psychological confusion and untiring explorations of mortal beings provide valuable insights into today’s insight into the death of our predecessors. In recent years, scholars have also discussed the issue of China’s death concept from different perspectives. To this end, I do not guess humble, also want to express their views on this, seek advice in the square.
