Zhuangzi introduced:
Zhuangzi (about 369 BC-about 286 BC), a famous Zhou, was born in the Song Dynasty during the Warring States Period (now in Shangqiu, Henan, Dongming, Shandong, Mengcheng County, Bozhou, Anhui), a thinker, philosopher and writer, a representative of the Taoist school in the middle of the Warring States Period, and was also called "Lao Zi" with Lao Zi.
Zhuangzi should not be employed by Chu Weiwang because he stands for freedom. He only worked as a lacquer garden official in the Song Dynasty, and was known as the "proud lacquer garden official" in history, and was regarded as a model of local officials. His earliest thought of "sage inside and king outside" had a far-reaching influence on Confucianism. He has a profound insight into the principles of the Book of Changes, pointing out that the Book of Changes is based on yin and yang, and his "three tones" thought is consistent with the three talents in the Book of Changes.
His literary imagination is rich and peculiar, his language is freely used, he is flexible and changeable, and he can write exquisite and unspeakable philosophies, which is called "literary philosophy, philosophical literature". His works are included in the book Zhuangzi, and his representative works include Free Travel, Theory of Everything, Master of Health, etc.
According to legend, Zhuangzi tried to live in seclusion in Nanhua Mountain and was buried here. Therefore, at the beginning of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was named as a South China True Man, and the book Zhuangzi was also regarded as the South China True Classic.
The main impacts are as follows:
Zhuangzi inherited and developed Laozi's philosophical thought of "Taoism is natural", which made Taoism a real science. He himself became an important representative of Taoism and was called "the ancestor of Taoism" with Laozi. The essence of Zhuangzi's learning is attributed to Laozi's words, so his books are more than 100,000 words, most of which are fables.
Such as fishermen, stealing feet, jackets and so on. Are used to identify Laozi's thoughts. He led "noble life" and "for me" to "mature life" and "selfless", which was attributed to the natural unity of Tao and me. Zhuangzi, Zhouyi and Laozi are also called "San Xuan", which has high research value in philosophy.
