Analysis of Chuang Tzu’s Thoughts of Moralization

Qianyu Zhuang

Abstract


Zhuangzi was a master of Taoist thought, he uses “Tao” to direct people’s real life, endows Taoism with new connotation, and adds vitality to Taoism. This paper analyzes Zhuangzi’s thoughts from four aspects of “Tao and nature”, “Cherish life and not fear death”, “Zhuangzi and Butterfly” and “indifferent to fame and fortune”. “Tao” is indescribable, real, and exists in subtle places. It points out that people living in the world should “follow the Tao”；“Cherish life and not fear death” took a new view of the pursuit of knowledge. Health maintenance lies in mental cultivationand treat life and death the same, so that people can transcend the fetters of the concept of life and death, get free and carefree life experience. “indifferent to fame and fortune” points out the harm of pursuing fame and wealth and provides people with a simple and leisurely life style. “Zhuangzi and Butterfly” uses things to express his feelings, which emphasizes experience Tao, comprehend Tao and enjoy the freedom in Tao.
