对于语言的研究已经认识到，语言有两种基本的先天本能：逻辑性和隐喻性。中国传统哲学一开始就表现出了轻逻辑、重隐喻的倾向，从儒家、道家到禅宗，中国传统哲学中语言隐喻化的倾向越来越明显，范围越来越大，以至于最后从语言内部的微隐喻走向了不仅仅局限于语言的宏隐喻。这种一贯的隐喻风格是理解中国传统哲学独特言观之谜的一把钥匙，同时也是造成中国传统哲学轻视自然和科学，重视人伦政治这一特质的重要原因之一。

Researches on language show that all languages have two kinds of connatural appetencies： metaphor and logic. At the very beginning, the traditional Chinese philosophy tends to prefer metaphor to logic. From Confucianism, Taoism to Zen, the tendency of metaphor becomes more and more obvious, and its scope also gets wider and wider. The micro-metaphor, at last, goes beyond language and turns to be the macro-metaphor. The persistent manner of metaphor could be considered to be one of the reasons why Chinese traditional philosophers show more interests in politics and ethics than science and nature. And also it could give us a key to unlock the puzzle of the linguistic viewpoint on traditional Chinese philosophy.
