Is Zhuangzi a passive escapist? What kind of escapist thought does Zhuangzi advocate?

<>Zhuangzi" drummed and sang.

The story is familiar, and many people take it as ironclad evidence of Zhuangzi's indifference and passivity from the world, but is this really the case? Is Zhuangzi passively escaping from the world or deeply in love with the world?

Think about it, if a person is smooth sailing and has a very happy life, will he want to be born? Of course not. In fact, Zhuangzi was not born with the heart of birth.

He is extremely talented, and his writing is so unbridled, both ideologically and literarily has reached a height that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, Sima Qian's "Historical Records".

It is said that he is "all-encompassing in his learning", and during the Warring States period, the status of scholars was very high, and he was a seller's market for intellectuals, such as Confucius.

It is said that Confucius is "Fengsu 60,000", which is the annual salary.

With more than 60,000 catties of grain, the talented Zhuangzi met the era of high status of scholars, and it stands to reason that life can be very good, but why is Zhuangzi so poor and wants to be born?

The Warring States Period was an era of high status of scholars, but it was also an era of "those who steal the hook are punished, and those who steal the country are punished". In the face of the dark political turmoil in the society, Zhuangzi was powerless to change, so he could only adhere to the attitude of not participating, and not be with the so-called magnates, so he faced the most powerful Chu monarch at that time.

I would rather stay in the dirty muddy water, because it is more filthy and dangerous than the muddy water. It is precisely because of the physical and mental constraints in reality that he wants to explore the absolute freedom of the spirit, so "Getaway".

In fact, it is the song of his depressed soul that is full of his infinite compassion for the world, and "Getaway" has also become the spirit of countless frustrated literati in later generations to confront reality**.

Escapism doesn't have to be negative!

Just like nature, if you look at spring and summer when it is vibrant, it is said that nature is positive. If you look at the autumn and winter as hidden, it is said that nature is negative.

In fact, is nature negative or positive?

Zhuangzi advocates the idea of escaping the world with non-action: conform to the way of heaven, enter the WTO with "doing", and cultivate the mind with "non-action", so as to have the tranquility of being in the red dust.

Zhuangzi opposes ritual and law, as well as all "universal" social morality. Because Zhuangzi believes that people are different from each other, the so-called universal morality is nothing more than cutting down on the fit and suppressing the natural nature of human beings and being cautious.

It is said that everything has its own nature, and it doesn't matter whether it is high or low. As long as they are each fully and freely exercising their natural abilities, they are equally happy. For example, the happiness of the bird is the singing of the head of the edaga, the wild goose.

Happiness is a thousand miles of migration. Each has its own happiness, but as long as they all achieve their own freedom, then they are equal happiness.

Major impacts

Philosophy. Zhuangzi inherited and developed Laozi's "Tao of Nature" in philosophical thought.

The ideological viewpoint that makes Taoism.

Truly becoming a school, he himself has become an important representative of Taoism, and is called the "ancestor of Taoism" along with Lao Tzu.

Zhuangzi's learning is based on Lao Tzu's words, so his books are more than 100,000 words, most of which are fables, such as "The Fisherman".

Stealing the foot" and "Xuan Zheng" and other articles are all used to identify Lao Tzu's ideas. He led "noble life" and "for me" to "attainment of life" and "self-forgetfulness", which boiled down to the natural unity of "Tao" and "me". Zhuangzi

and "Zhou Yi" and "Lao Tzu".

It is also known as "Sankuan Beat Source Xuan", which has high research value in philosophy.

The order of the four sentences of Zhuangzi's idea of escaping the world is as follows:

1. "It's just for the sake of hyperactivity": "hyper" is high-pitched, with the meaning of unruly and cynical. But judging from the examples given, such people, although they are also cynical, do not oppose them, and especially do not sacrifice themselves out of dissatisfaction, but only express a kind of nobility.

In the following words, "not deliberately but high", "high" is its mentality, and it can be inferred that "hyper" is the mistake of "high", which is caused by the diffuse of the lower part of the word "high".

2. "This ordinary person": The meaning of "ordinary world" is not as obvious as "departed", "non-worldly", and "escaping the world" in the text, and it is suspected that it is a misword of "parallel world". "Contemporaneous" means to be in harmony with the world, that is, to cooperate with today's society.

3. "Wu Wei is just that": "Wu Wei" is the highest ideal of Taoism, and this person who "is in Xue Ze, is idle, and fishing is idle" is not enough to deserve it. Looking at the following sentence of "idle without rivers and seas", the word "idle" should be used here, and the sentence should be "just idle".

It is a mistake for "idle" for "nothing", and "for nothing" is not a word, and the mausoleum is inverted as "nothing".

Fourth, "the person of this Dao": "Dao Yin" is to guide this Wang Shan Yin, which is a method of exercising the body by shaking the muscles and bones and moving the limbs.

Fifth, "indifferent."

And the beauty from it": "indifferent" and "infinite", from the point of view of the part of speech, are both descriptives, or "indifferent" to describe "indifferent", or "indifferent" to describe "indifferent", but its meaning is difficult to harmonize, and there must be mistakes in the meantime.

In fact, "Wuji" is "Wuwei". "Indifferent", to "indifferent" to describe "indifference", in the sense of the most agreeable. And only inaction can be worthy of "the way of heaven and earth, the virtue of saints". "Extreme" is a mistake for "for".

Yes

Zhuangzi's idea of escaping the world with non-action is: conform to the way of heaven, enter the WTO with "doing something", and cultivate the mind with "non-action", so as to have the tranquility of being in the red dust.

Zhuangzi advocates the idea of "non-action" and "escapism", and the famous sentence of his famous article "Zhuangzi: The Human World" also shows this: the center of "The Human World" is to discuss the way of dealing with the world, which not only expresses Zhuangzi's attitude towards life and self-treatment, but also reveals Zhuangzi's philosophical view of dealing with the world. Zhuangzi's thought on life advocates being indifferent and open-minded, calmly facing all misfortunes, blessings, sorrows, and joys, and not rejoicing and sorrowing over the changes in all things and their own branches.

The famous quote from "The World"?

There is a famous sentence in "The World": "My life is also a Tong Wang has an end, and knowledge has no end." With an end, there is no end, and it is gone! , meaning that human life is finite, while knowledge is endless. Therefore, if we blindly pursue material and external honors, we will only put ourselves in a deeper predicament. On the contrary, if we adopt an attitude of doing nothing, retreating from the world, and transcending the shackles of utilitarianism and fame, we can achieve true freedom and tranquility.

This famous sentence embodies Zhuangzi's admiration and pursuit of escapism from the world, and expresses his outlook on life and values. In Zhuangzi's view, people should take natural harmony as the standard, not too much pursuit of fame and fortune, and the bureau should return to the basics and maintain inner peace. This kind of thinking has had a profound impact on the development of Chinese culture, and has been praised by later generations.
