论嵇康的道教神仙信仰

从魏晋时起，道教由于受当时统治阶级的打击和利用，由汉末的早期道教开始分化为上层神仙道教和下层的民间道教。天师道的北迁与“上层化”运动，促使神仙信仰开始在上层贵族与文人名士中间广泛传播。神仙道教本是士族文化的产物，因而对当时的名士文人产生了深刻之影响。嵇康就是一个典型之例，他不但心仪老庄，更语类道仙，潜心养生、采药服食以成神仙是其一生的兴趣所在，也是其道教神仙信仰极鲜明的特点。

On Jikang's Immortal Faith in Taoism

From the time of Wei-Jin dynasty, due to the attack and use of contemporary ruling class, the early-staged Taoism of Han dynasty began to be polarized into immortal Taoism believed by the upper classes and the civil Taoism accepted by the folk people. The northward movement and upper layer of Tian-shi Taoism prompted the immortal faith to spread widely among the upper nobility, the literati and the personages. Immortal Taoism originally was the product of the literati culture and had a great influence on the literati and the personages. Ji Kang was a typical case. He was not only interested in Lao Zhuang, but also held the language of immortals of Taoism. In order to be an immortal, to preserve health with great concentration and to pick and take the herbal medicine was his lifelong interest, which also was the obvious characteristic of his immortal faith in Taoism.
