論「射雕英雄傳」的郭靖－－以「中庸」「擇善而固執之者也」作為詮解視野

The role of Guo-jing in 'The Legend of The Condor Heroes'- an interpretation from the perspective of 'Who chooses what is good, and firmly holds it fast' in 'The Doctrine of the Mean'

近年來，金庸小說研究已經越來越受到學術界的重視，無論是在學術期刊、學位論文，抑或專書研究，皆已積累不少成果。然而，綜觀前人研究，筆者認為在以哲理視野詮解金庸小說這個層面上，其實尚有研究空間。因此，本文擬對「射週英雄傳」的「郭靖」進行討論，並且嘗試援引「中庸」的「擇善而由執之者也」作為詮解視野。

Recently, novels of Louis Cha (well-known as Jin-Yong) are highly respected no matter in scholar journals, degree theses or particular books. But when I review previous literatures, I find there is still room to study from the philosophic perspective. In this paper, I discuss the role of Guo-jing in “The Legend of The Condor Heroes” and try to interpret from the perspective of “Who chooses what is good, and firmly holds it fast” in “The Doctrine of the Mean”. To make it simple, I divide “Who chooses what is good, and firmly holds it fast” into two parts: one is about “dullness” and the other is about “wiseness”. From this analytic framework, I find two main results. One is Guo-jing’s dullness is not from his nature-born stupidness but he chooses what is good and is hard to comply with common customs. The other is although Guo-jing is nature-born stupid but when he chooses what is good and holds it fast, he can discover wiseness in his stupidness because he uses hundred efforts when another man succeeds by ten.
