A famous thinker, philosopher and writer, a representative of Taoist school, the successor and developer of Laozi's philosophical thought, and the founder of Zhuangzi school in pre-Qin.

His theory covered all aspects of social life at that time, but the fundamental spirit still belonged to Laozi's philosophy. Later generations called him and Laozi "Laozi", and their philosophy was "Laozi's philosophy". Zhuangzi's articles are incisive, humorous, witty, imaginative and romantic, and have a great influence on the literary language of later generations. Zhuangzi is a collection of works by Zhuang Zhou and his later scholars.

Zhuangzi, like Confucius, was a great wise man in ancient China. However, his wit, humor and humor in the article made him very different from Confucius.

Zhuangzi's thought contains simple dialectical factors, thinking that everything is changing. He believes that "Tao" is a "natural place" and is closed from the beginning of "Tao" (that is, "Tao" has no boundaries). Advocate "inaction" and give up everything. He also believes that everything is relative, so he denies knowledge, denies the essential difference of everything, tries his best to deny reality, and fantasizes about a subjective spiritual realm of "heaven and earth coexist with me, and everything is one with me", which is peaceful and carefree.

Zhuangzi's articles are rich in imagination, changeable in style, full of romanticism, humorous and satirical in the form of fables, which have a great influence on the literary language of later generations. Zhuang Zhou, his disciples and later scholars wrote Zhuangzi (called Tao Te Ching or Nanhua Ching by Taoism), which is one of the Taoist classics. There are 52 Zhuangzi articles recorded in the Records of Han Shu Literature and Art, and only 33 exist. Among them, there are seven chapters, which are generally designated as Zhuangzi; Foreign essays may be mixed with his disciples and later Taoist works.
