당군의의 인생관과 문학치료

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explore the view of life of the aspects of Literature therapy that appear in Tang Junyi’s life, and to examine the examples of how Confucian scholars treated themselves in their lives. He argued in his "realization of the true self" and "doing what you thought you should do" in his Renshengzhitiyan(人生之體驗) and Daodeziwozhijianli(道德自我之建立), should be the purpose of life. In fact, those concepts are not different after all in that they are for practicing moral life by establishing moral self and realizing it in ordinary daily life. In fact, Tang Junyi corrected books and lectured students when he had lung cancer, which was what his moral self should be self-aware and how he realized his true self or his moral self, in his ordinary daily life. He had also stressed that the way to find each person's purpose in life lies in self-reflection, in other words, Fanguan(反觀). And he used the form of Literary therapy in this Fanguan because it is also the most basic step for treatment. The literary therapy is largely divided into a writing therapy and a reading therapy. A writing therapy is well illustrated by the confession in the Renshengzhitiyan(人生之體驗) that he wrote to relieve himself from suffering when he made a mistake and suffered immensely afterwards. You can find the reading therapy aspect in that he was able to control his anxiety and fear through the act of reading religious books in the final year of his death. This Fanguan for healing is also a fundamental way to realize the “Wujiu(无咎)” taught by Zhouyi, as it is in line with Xici(繫辭)'s “Hui(悔)” and “Xixin(洗心)”. If you connect this with the Tang Junyi's view of life, you can say that the purpose of his life is to pursue “Wujiu(无咎)”. In short, Tang Junyi embraced the literary therapy as a way of “Xixin(洗心)” in the process of establishing and realizing the purpose of life toward “Wujiu(无咎)”, and it is a kind of self-principled philosophy therapy and philosophy practice to realize the value of one's life.
