老子的容和养生观与现代心理调适理论

在古代文明急速发展的时期，老子有感于人们面对诸多发展的困扰和发展带来的强大心理压力而无所适从状况，提出了对我国社会和人们的生活影响至深的容和生活态度和养生观。这一生活态度和养生观的理论基础是人须遵循道之容和常规生活，才能生生不息。容和的生活态度就是追求和谐、平衡的生活态度，即老子所谓“高者抑之，下者举之”的生活态度，从而保持心灵平静和心理平衡的状态。我国正处于经济急速增长的所谓“转型期”，老子的容和养生观对我们思考如何建设和谐的人与自然关系、人与人关系有着重要的启发意义。

The Peaceful Living Attitude of Lao Tzu and the Theory on Modern Psychological Adjustment

Facing ancient people's great psychological stress,Lao Tzu comes up with the peaceful living attitude which has a deep impact on the whole Chinese society and all Chinese people's lives.This attitude calls for people to go after harmony and balance,as the saying of Lao Tzu goes,"To bring it down when it gets up and to lift it up while it comes down",which means one should stay calm with a high social status,and keep cheering up when he/she goes down.At present,with the rapid growth of our economy,the whole society is in the process of the so-called "mode-transition period",which put great psychological stress on people.Lao Tzu's peaceful living attitude has a great inspiriting impact on our thinking of how to build a harmonious relationship between human and nature,and among different persons.
