Zhuangzi's influence on later generations;
What attracted the attention of later generations most was Zhuangzi's theory of "carefree life". The ideological realm of spiritual freedom pursued by Zhuangzi is free and easy after belittling the fame and fortune of life, just like everything turns around, my heart remains unchanged. This is a realm of life beyond dust.
In the history of China, no one can absorb and develop Zhuangzi's abstract philosophical theory. Zhuangzi represents the highest level of China's metaphysics, which no one can inherit.
Zhuangzi has a unique ideological theory in philosophy, WTO entry and politics. He advocates the idea of harmony between man and nature, and also has the theory of pursuing spiritual freedom. Zhuangzi put forward China's earliest metaphysical theory, but it is a pity that later generations failed to inherit and develop it. It's really sad
Zhuangzi's main points:
Zhuangzi's philosophical thoughts mainly inherited the system of Laozi, and on this basis, he added his own viewpoints and theories. Zhuangzi believes that "Tao" is an objective natural law in the universe, and the natural law is an exposition of the origin of the universe.
On the basis of Laozi's "Harmony between Man and Nature", Zhuangzi proposed that everything in the world is interrelated. He believes that the natural law of Tao is boundless and unbounded, and no master can manipulate everything. Everything dies by itself, and heaven and earth naturally evolve.
Brief introduction of Zhuangzi and his life;
Introduction:
Zhuangzi, surnamed Zhuang, Zhou, Zi Xiu (aka), was born in the Song Dynasty, and his ancestors were the monarch and duke of the Song Dynasty. He was a famous thinker, philosopher and writer in the middle of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Warring States Period. Zhuangzi, an important school of philosophy in China, was founded. He is a representative of the Taoist school in the Warring States period after Laozi and one of the main representatives of the Taoist school.
Zhuang Zhou should not be employed by Chu Weiwang because he advocates freedom. He only worked as a lacquer garden official in the Song Dynasty. History is called "the proud official of Qiyuan" and is regarded as a model of local officials. Zhuangzi first put forward the idea of "sage inside and king outside", which had a far-reaching influence on Confucianism. Zhuangzi has profound views on the Book of Changes, and profoundly pointed out that "the Book of Changes takes the way of Yin and Yang"; Zhuangzi's thought of "three tones" is consistent with the three talents in the Book of Changes.
Character life:
Zhuangzi was born in Guo Meng in Song Dynasty, and he is a descendant of the Song government. His ancestors can be traced back to the eleventh monarch, the Duke of Song Dynasty. There are many opinions about the modern geographical location of Mongolia, such as Shangqiu in Henan, Mengcheng in Anhui and Dongming in Shandong. Zhuangzi was born in the seventh year of King Zhou (369 BC). This is mainly from two aspects.
First of all, Records of the Historian recorded Zhuangzi and Liang He at the same time, and also recorded that messengers hired Zhuangzi with heavy money. In the first year (the first 339 years), that is, the 32nd and 3rd years of Liang Huiwang, and the 11th year of Wang Wei (the first 329 years), and "if Zhou can be employed by Chu, he will be in his 30s and 40s", then Zhuangzi's birth year should be no later than 369 BC to 359 BC.
