How was Zhuangzi s thought formed?

The core idea of Zhuangzi is "Tao".

Zhuangzi is a representative of the Taoist school, the essence of the thought is to advocate morality, Zhuangzi inherited and developed Laozi's thought, so in history Lao Zhuang is also called, Taoist thought is also called Lao Zhuang thought. He believes that the natural laws of the Tao are boundless, that there is no master who manipulates all things, and that all things are self-generating and self-nourishing, and that they evolve naturally in heaven and earth.

Zhuangzi's influence on later generations:

This was an era of exploring the truth and pursuing self-doctrine, and Zhuangzi was in the midst of such a great ideological controversy, reading many schools of thought and establishing his own unique Zhuangzi school theory. In terms of ideological core and style, Zhuangzi is different from other great masters, and even from Laozi, the pioneer of Taoism.

Zhuangzi's ideological and philosophical system is an abstract egoism, he has no clear political propositions and political demands, nor does he seek the approval of rulers, Zhuangzi only understands and explores the truth of the universe through abstract speculation, but does not try to verify his theory through secular practice.

In Chinese history, no one has been able to absorb and develop Zhuangzi's abstract philosophical egoism, and Zhuangzi represents the highest level of metaphysics in China, which no one in later generations can inherit. Zhuangzi has unique ideological theories in philosophy, accession to the WTO, and politics, and he advocates the idea of pure and quiet inaction and the unity of heaven and man, and also has the theory of detachment from the pursuit of spiritual freedom.

The core idea of Zhuangzi is "Tao", Zhuangzi is a representative of the Taoist school, and the essence of his thought is to advocate "morality".

Politically, Zhuangzi advocated the rule of inaction. The reason for this is that happiness can only be approached when everything is free and free, and the more control there is, the more rules there are, the more we lose ourselves, and the more we lose our happiness. Therefore, any unnatural rules suppress people's happiness.

Zhuangzi advocated the pursuit of freedom and detachment in life. He believes that human beings are different from each other, and that the so-called universal morality is nothing more than cutting down on the proper performance and suppressing the natural nature of human beings. Everything has its own nature, and it doesn't matter how high or low.

As long as they are each fully and freely exercising their natural abilities, they are equally happy.

According to the Book of Han, there were nine schools of thought in the pre-Qin period, a total of ten schools, the most famous of which were Confucianism, Moism, Taoism, and Legalism, and Zhuangzi was the representative of the Taoist school.

Zhuangzi's thought is also the main idea of Taoism, which is Wuwei. He advocated that the monarch should rule the world by doing nothing. For ordinary people, Zhuangzi put forward the philosophical idea of going with the flow, believing that people's lives should not be intervened too much, and in the face of a complex society, they should go with the flow and be happy.

Therefore, Zhuangzi's ideas had a much greater impact on later generations than at that time.

Zhuangzi's name is Zhou, he is a native of the Song State in the middle and late Warring States period, and Mencius is roughly in the same period, but the biggest official he has ever been is just a small official, and this Zhuangzi's idea of inaction has a lot to do with it.

Zhuangzi likes to use fables to tell stories, so most of Zhuangzi's thoughts are integrated into fables, and the natural stories are much more exciting, for example, in "Getaway", Zhuangzi uses the sneer of the Shu and the Xue Gu to make a comparison, praising the magnificent ambition of Kunpeng, and by the way, he also laughs at the Shu and the Xue Dove. The whole story is particularly interesting to read, and it is thought-provoking after reading it.

Most of Zhuangzi's stories are full of fantastical imagination, ethereal and ethereal style, and humorous and sarcastic language, which were not taken seriously at the time, so during the Warring States Period, Zhuangzi's ideas did not play much role in politicsThe role of Zhuangzi's thought is more reflected in the influence on the thought and literature of later generations.

Zhuangzi's thought has a great influence on the literati hermits of the past dynasties, especially in the troubled times, Zhuangzi's influence is more far-reaching, the most representative is Tao Yuanming of the Jin Dynasty, Tao Yuanming has a similar experience to Zhuangzi, Tao Yuanming's idyllic poetry is the transformation of Zhuangzi's thoughts, not so much the helplessness of being an official, but a kind of free and easy to see through the red dust.

It has a particularly important role, so that people can be in awe of nature, and then in any environment, they can also better face pressure, and they will also find a suitable way to release stress, and it will not have a particularly serious impact on people's minds because of the environment.

A specific role should be to persuade many people to follow nature and be at peace with what happens. That is, we also have to get rid of some bad culture, and of course this kind of thinking is also correct, and we still have many people who use this kind of thinking until now.

His thinking is very free, very admirable, some of the ideas in it have an impact on the minds of future generations, has a very key role, can educate, let people understand more perspectives, and affect people's three views.

It can change the environment at that time, promote the development of ideas, spread ideology and culture, promote the development of society, and change the political views of the time.

The main ideas of Zhuangzi had a great influence on later generations, and he also influenced the thoughts of others through some of his own concepts, and also advocated a very good social atmosphere, which brought people a lot of ideological value. Moreover, it also vigorously promoted the rule of inaction and the development of Taoism.

Zhuangzi's main ideas are "Heavenly Dao Wu Wei", relative epistemology, unconditional spiritual freedom, etc. His ideas belong to the system of idealism. He exaggerated the relativity of all things one-sidedly, denied the differences between objective things, denied objective truth, and moved towards relativism in epistemology.

Starting from this epistemology, his attitude towards life is: everything is in accordance with nature, and everything is in order, knowing that it is helpless and peaceful.

Politically, he advocated the rule of inaction, opposed all social systems, and rejected all cultural knowledge.

Zhuangzi's thought was developed from Laozi's thought, and he developed Laozi's Tao into subjective idealism and naïve dialectics into relativism.

His interpretation of "Dao" is more mysterious, believing that "Dao" is a "non-material" that is "born from nature", and is a spiritual thing, and he leads Lao Tzu's view of the transformation of opposites to the extreme, believing that no matter the size, length, high or low, beauty and ugliness, success and destruction, all differences do not exist, based on this view, he believes that "the world is nothing greater than the end of the autumn, and Taishan is small; Mo lived for a child (a child who died young), while Peng Zu (the longest-lived person in the legend) died young.

This confuses the distinction between size and longevity, denies the qualitative prescriptiveness of things, and moves towards the relativism of "no differences" and "all things are the same". So he proposed, "Fang is born and dies, and Fang is dead and is born......Yes and there, he is also; He is also wrong, and this is also wrong". That is to say, you don't have to ask about right and wrong, life and death are the same, and you can show pessimism and misanthropy.

He not only believes that "Qi is right and wrong", "Qi all things", and even "Qi things and me", as he said: "Heaven and earth are born together with me, and all things are one with me", entering the realm of mysticism, everything is unknowable.

As a representative of the declining class, he tried his best to escape from reality and pursue absolute spiritual freedom to reach the realm of "real people". In order to become a "real person", one must be able to "sit and forget", that is, to completely forget oneself, to eliminate the self in the spiritual illusion, to be one with heaven and earth in spirit, to be one with all things, to completely liberate the interests and harms, gains and losses, reputation, right and wrong in the world, to obtain absolute freedom spiritually, and to enter the realm of leisurely travel.

The negative and decadent side of Lao Zhuang's thought later became the first in the spiritual world of all declining and frustrated classes or groups.

Zhuangzi is a representative of the Taoist school, and the essence of his thought is the proposition"Ethics"。Zhuangzi inherited and developed Lao Tzu's thought, and Lao Zhuang was called in the history of Lao Zhuang, and Taoist thought was also called Lao Zhuang thought. Taoists believe that people should take the principle of the Tao in dealing with things, and compare the avenue to the center of a circle, like the axle of a rotating wheel, and all the principles of yin and yang are connected to the axle like the spokes of a car; Therefore, all the strips make sense, they are heavy in turns, then the yin is yin, the yang is yang, the thing comes and the thing is left.

He affirms human nature, liberates human nature, and opposes any restraint on human nature. Zhuangzi inherited and developed Lao Tzu's thoughts, and the views they advocated of indifference to fame and fortune, detachment from spaciousness, purity of heart and few desires, as well as advocating harmony between man and nature and pursuing the true nature of human nature, are conducive to the shaping of people's ideal personality and the improvement of the realm of moral thought.

Zhuangzi: What are you talking about hiding from the world and hiding from the world?
