Zhuangzi believes that since life and death are inevitable things in life, since life must be transformed into death, and death must also be transformed into life, and since life is meaningful and death is valuable, then people's attitude towards life and death should be calm and obedient. In Zhuangzi's view, life is opportunity and death is hue. Only when people can calmly follow the transformation of life and death can they truly understand the true meaning of life. In "The King of Health Preservation", Zhuangzi told another fable: "Death, Qin lost, three sunrises. Disciple said,' Is it evil not to be a friend of Master?' Say:' Ran'. But how do you hang it? Said:' Nature. At first I thought he was a man, but now he is not. Hanging to me, there are old people crying, such as crying their sons; Crying less is like crying mom. If he knew, someone would have cried without saying anything. It is a punishment to escape from heaven and forget what you have suffered. At the right time, so is the master; Appropriate, the master is also suitable. Harmony is different, sadness and joy cannot enter, and the ancients called it hanging emperor. "Just in time, Lao Dan timely; Just as he was leaving, the master died naturally, comfortably and smoothly, and treated the vicissitudes of the world with a natural attitude regardless of sorrow and joy. Guo Xiang notes: "The winner is also the time; When the time comes, the world is called. Those who lose, shun also; When you don't stop, go with the flow and the world will be lost. "Sorrow and joy can't enter, that is, materialization. Gaining is time, losing is compliance; If you are satisfied with opportunities and adapt to changes, you cannot enter your heart: this is what you called "suspension" in ancient times. What you can't solve by yourself is bound by foreign things.

Since Descartes initiated rationalism at the beginning of17th century, Spinoza has developed and matured modern rationalism philosophy. He used the universal laws and rules of nature to understand human nature and emotion, and he regarded human emotion as the same inevitability and strength as nature. Zhuangzi took Qin Wei as an opportunity to regard a person's birth as timely and a person's death as a natural change. He believes that if you can be content with your fortune, obey materialization and adapt to the changes of life and death, you can be indifferent. This is the way to get rid of the pain of inversion. The master put forward the view that "exclusion means entering the Liao Dynasty", and also advocated being content with the natural arrangement and obeying the fate of life and death, which is consistent with the vast road and nature.

So he can be one of heaven and man, not life and death. As for the victory of "Xin Zhai" and "Sit Forget", at this time all external life and death changes can not disturb his inner peace. Therefore, everything can be unified, and life and death can be achieved. This is the ultimate cultivation of the inner saint. Although it is very human, it is desirable.
