Zhuangzi advocates"rule by inaction".

Advocate the Tao of nature, go with the flow, advocate quiet and inaction, keep the female and keep the soft, and overcome the rigid with the soft.

Zhuangzi is a representative of the Taoist school. Zhuangzi was a famous thinker in China's Warring States period and the successor of Laozi's philosophy. Although they are both representatives of Taoism, their ideas are different:

Lao Tzu pursues quiet and inaction, conforms to nature; Zhuangzi pursues to do as he pleases and is free. Zhuangzi began to want to be an official, but after he became a petty official, he felt that being an official was a kind of torture for his personal spirit, so later Zhuangzi decided not to be an official anymore.

Zhuangzi, known as Zhou, was a native of the Song Kingdom and Mongolia during the Warring States Period. A thinker, philosopher, and writer in the middle of the Warring States period, and the founder of Zhuangxue, he was called "Lao Zhuang" together with Lao Tzu. Zhuangzi was not hired by King Chu Wei because of his advocating freedom, and only served as the local Qiyuan official of the Song Kingdom, known as the "Qiyuan Proud Official" in history, and was known as a model of local officials.

Zhuangzi's earliest idea of "inner sage and outer king" had a profound influence on Confucianism. He had an insight into Yi Li and pointed out that "Yi is Yin and Yang with the Tao", and his idea of "Three Lai Sun Nuclei" is consistent with the Tao of the Three Talents of the Book of Changes.

Zhuangzi's writings are rich in imagination and peculiar, the language is free, flexible and changeable, and he can write subtle and difficult philosophical ideas in a fascinating way, which is called "the philosophy of literature, the literature of philosophy". His works are included in the book "Zhuangzi", and his representative works include "Wandering Away", "Theory of Things", "Health Master" and so on.
