带有成见的心。出自《庄子·齐物论》。庄子认为,人们如果站在自我立场上去看待他者,就会用自己的标准形成对他者、对世界的成见。而由于立场或标准的不同,彼此的成见会造成各种对立和纷争。被成见所遮蔽的心,就是“成心”。人们怀有“成心”而往往不自知。因此,庄子提示人们应意识到并超越“成心”以及狭隘的自我立场。
This refers to prejudice a person has developed towards a particular person or thing. The concept is from Zhuangzi. The author Zhuangzi believed that people will develop biased views towards other people or things when they only look at other people or things from their own perspectives. Such bias caused by different points of view or standards can lead to disagreement or confrontation. People seldom realize that they have a biased mind. Thus Zhuangzi suggested that people need to be aware of their own biased mind and overcome it.
引例 Citation:
◎夫随其成心而师之,谁独且无师乎?奚必知代而心自取者有之?愚者与有焉。未成乎心而有是非,是今日适越而昔至也。(《庄子·齐物论》)
如果顺着自己带有成见的心而遵从它,那么谁还没有一个遵从的标准呢?为何一定是知道万物变化而有见识的人才有呢?愚笨的人也是有的啊。没有在心中形成见识就已经有是非,这就好像今天到越国去但昨天已经到达了。
If people just follow their own biased mind, does it mean that there are no general standards for all to follow? Both those well-informed people who know that everything changes and foolish people have biased minds. Claiming to know about what is right and wrong about something before gaining enough knowledge about it is like journeying to the State of Yue today and arriving there yesterday. (Zhuangzi)
