《老子》的道物关系论有四个层面：道生物，道成物，道统物，道通物。道生物，即道是万物的创造者，老子又用“无名”来指称；道成物，即道成就了万物的本性，是万物是其所是的根据，老子又用“一”来表示；道统物，即道是统合万物的法则，老子又用“道纪”来表示；道通物，即道是贯通万物的共性，老子用“门”来比喻。这四层关系的核心是：道在物中。道既是万物展开其本性的原动力，也是万物自行展开的整体状态。这是《老子》潜在的思想，经由庄子、王弼的诠释而大开其境。对中国哲学真实性之建立的启示在于：避免套用西方哲学的范畴，避免掉进历史的还原论中，“诠释的还元”是一条可尝试的进路。

There are four kinds of relations between Tao and things in Laozi. Firstly, Tao is the creator of all things which is also referred to as Namelessness;secondly, Tao is the root of all things being as themselves which is also called Oneness; thirdly, Tao is the highest law followed by all things which is also concluded as“daoji”;and fourthly, Tao is the universality of differ-ent things which makes all things exist harmoniously and is disclosed by the metaphor of“door”. In a word, Tao is hidden in all things. It is both the original force and the natural statement of all things growing as they are. However, this is the hidden mean-ing in Laozi and is fully revealed by Zhuang Tzu and Wang Pi’s interpretations. In this paper, the Chinese philosophical research methodology of “returning to the classics by interpretation” is put forward so as not to neither use western philosophical catego-ries mechanically nor completely search for the historical meanings.
