The Notion of “Night Energy” in Confucian Methodology for Self-Cultivation

CLC number: B2

摘要: “夜气”“平旦之气”是孟子论人禽之别的一个重要话语，这一话语是与先秦君子一日“四时”之生活节律联系在一起的。理学多认为“夜气”二字对于涵养本原、体认未发前气象具有指引意义，于学者用功“极有力”。在明代心学传统中，王阳明、湛若水是“夜气的守护人”，“夜气”成为认取良知、体认天理的一个方便法门，“昼夜皆夜气”的说法既体现了“一个工夫”的共同追求，也折射出明代心学沉潜、凝一、收敛的精神气质。明清之际的王夫之是夜气话语的“去魅者”，他是“白昼之子”，其“夜气无力”“昼气清于夜气”的说法展示了刚健有为的哲学品格。“夜气的守护人”与“白昼之子”其所“守护”与“警醒谨守”者不外是人之为人的本真性，是一源自“天”而由人体认与实践的道德创造力量。

Abstract: In Mencius the notion of “night energy” （夜气）and that of “dawn energy” （平旦之气）constitute an important discourse on the distinction between human and animal,which is closely tied up with the Pre-Qin gentlemen’s life rhythm formed by the four sessions of a day,namely dawn,day,dusk and night.Most Neo-Confucian masters regard the saying of “night energy” as of instructive significance insofar as cultivating the original life source or an experimental understanding of the state of mind before sentimental arousal is concerned,and believe it can be “extremely helpful” to the Confucian practitioners.Sitting in the tradition of School of mind in the Ming era,Wang Yangming and Zhan Ruoshui became the guardians of “night energy”,to whom “night energy” provides an expedient method for experiencing one’s innate conscience and heavenly Principle.The theory of “night energy running through day and night” not only embodies their common pursuit for “one methodology”,but also reflects the spiritual temperaments of Ming Confucians in the School of mind—depth,quietness,concentration,and inwardness.By contrast Wang Fuzhi at the turn of the Ming and Qing dynasties was the “disenchanter” of the “night energy” discourse and the “son of the day”,whose thesis statements such as “day energy is purer than night energy” and “night energy is powerless” demonstrate a philosophical ethos of vigorousness and activity.For both the guardians of night energy and the son/children of the day,what is “guarded” or “preserved” is no other than the authentic nature of human being,a source of moral creativity that is derived from the Heaven and can be experienced and practiced in human life.
