“前后”和“顿渐”是早期南禅思考修行和解脱时常用的哲学语言，这些语言中蕴含着对于时间的思考。早期南禅认为时间表现于个人和众生的“心”中，是一种对于“念”的错觉。时间有着一种特殊的表现方式，即以时空交错显示“顿悟”时融汇中西古今的思维跳动。早期南禅对时间的思考是一种对时间的承认，同时亦是一种对时间的解构，以弱化物理时间前后、长短、快慢的属性和以心理无念的超越性来解构时间，从而达到对时间的领悟和自身的解脱。%“Sudden and gradual enlightenment” as well as “previous and coming idea” are common philosophical words of the southern school of Zen Buddhism for thinking about practicing Buddhism and moksa in early stage, in which thinking of time were implied. The southern school of Zen Buddhism believes the time is reflected in the personal and living beings’ “minds” and it is a kind of illusion about “idea”. Time has a special kind of expression, that is, it displays thinking shift of fusion of the ancient and the present as well as China and the West at the time of “sudden enlightenment” by intertwining of time and space. Their view on time is the recognition of time, and also a kind of deconstruction of time, aiming to weaken the properties of point, length and speed of physical time, and deconstruct time by transcendence that there is no idea in mind so as to achieve insight about time and self-moksa.
