“身国共治”是道家思想体系中的一个重要组成部分,这一概念由詹石窗教授在《身国共治——政治与中华传统文化》一书中首次提出。通过对《道德经》中“身国共治”理念的探索可以发现,老子已经对“身国共治”有了较为深入的论述,同时老子关于“身国共治”的论述对现代社会的优化发展具有一定的启示意义。 “Commonwealth of State” is an important part of Taoist ideology system. This concept was first proposed by Professor Zhan Shih-ch’ang in the book entitled “governing the country together - politics and Chinese traditional culture”. Through the exploration of the concept of “governing the country by the nation and state” in “Tao Te Ching”, we can find that Lao Tzu has a more in-depth discussion of “governing the country and the nation.” The optimal development of modern society has some enlightenment significance.
