"Tao"is the origin of the universe ,and the core concept in the Taoist; "Speech"is as a tool and means to illustrate Tao. However,Zhuangzi claims that"Tao cannot be expressed in words",therefore,the relationship between language and Tao,clarifying and being defiladed is present upon us.To generalize the relationship between speech and Tao is very useful to understand Zhuangzi philosophical thinking. On basis of the original work,the research accomplishment of being achieved and the reference to western linguistic philosophy , the article synthetically analyses the relationship between speech and Tao.This dissertation is consisted of three parts:the preface,the main body and the conclusion.The main body is divided into four chapters. In Chapter one,Zhuangzi inherited the though of Laozi,and has definitely pointed out the perspective that"Tao cannot be expressed in words,even if it being expressed words is not itself ".The author,furthermore,discusses its connotation. In Chapter two,The author discusses why Tao cannot be talked,and then analyses the reason o"fTao cannot be expressed in words"through three dimension:speech's subject,speech's object,speech as medium language. In Chapter three,above all,Zhuangzi is still speaking,the manner of his speech is "Three manners of speech",so the author emphasizes on the analysis of Zhuangzi's "Three manners of speech",i.e. parables,the venerable's words and everflowing words. In Chapter four,Zhuangzi claims that"Once mean.ing is grasped when speech lost itself",then he sets food on the way of transcendental logical language ,i.e. the way by the manners of "the fast of mind"and"sitting in forgetfulness".
