Introduction to Zhuangzi

In his early years, he only worked as a lacquer garden official in Mengyi in the Song Dynasty, and later refused Chu Weiwang's invitation to hire him as the Minister of State. Zhuangzi is very eloquent. He once advised to give up cutting Qi, and had a famous debate with his good friend Hui Shi, such as Hao Liang's debate.

Zhuangzi's thoughts are mainly recorded in the book Zhuangzi, and his representative works include Free Travel, Theory of All Things, and Ways of Keeping in Good Health.
