In "Knowing Cows by Skill", Zhuangzi explained that people should explore the essence of things. He believes that only in this way can we truly understand the relationship between nature and human beings and see the deep essence from the complex appearance. This kind of thinking is not a passive escape, but an active search for truth, transcending appearances and discovering the true colors of things.
On the way of keeping in good health, Zhuangzi emphasized that the essence of life is infinite, and people should keep in good health with a natural and inaction attitude. This is not to passively give up the pursuit of life, but to realize that the essence of oneself and the world is infinite. Only by letting go of some artificial constraints and unnecessary pursuits can we truly achieve inner peace and harmony.
Therefore, Zhuangzi's thought is not a negative philosophy of life, but a positive attitude towards life on the basis of reflecting on the nature of life and the relationship between nature.
