초록

Taoism is originated from the Chinese traditional culture. Its belief covers the ethics values involved with the interpersonal relations based on the relation between heaven and man. According to the content of the Taoism belief, the Taoism ethics can be reduced to four aspects: heaven dominates human, heaven praises virtue and punishes vice, do good works to accumulate virtue in behavior, and attain the Tao and immortalize through giving up desires. For his preference of Taoism, Feng Menglong reflected the influence of the Taoism ethics on the social life through a series of characters and plots in the stories written in “San Yan”. This not only expressed the author’s respect to Taoism ethics, but also confirmed the value of the mental restraint of Taoism ethics on the social behavior.
