"Xujing"(emptiness and stillness) theory of Lao Tzu is mainly a fountainhead theory . He think everything is born from xujing. This is the basement of Lao Tzu's theory . Xujing is the inherent quality of everything including human, so Xujing is Taoism. Man has been born ,but they have lost their inherent quality. Xujing is also wise monarchy's principles to rule. They make human back to their state of Xujing. Xujing is also sage's the one and only way to cultivate one's moral character. It make them Xujing in numerous and disorderly material's presentation and live with Taoism. Chuang Tzu's Xujing theory is mainly a freedom thinking when individual meet a group. It's Chuang's center theory. Chuang Tzu's"xiao yao you"(free and unfettered to tour), is to say the most realize of individual freedom. It's come true ,first necessary is forget oneself, or to say reach a most Xujing state. Only forgetting oneself ,we can see life and death to one thing, the whole creation to the same level, and we can realize the liberty surpass of soul, freedom and wander in the human world."Xujing"is the most freedom of body and heart, the ultimate experience of body and heart in the wholly forgetting oneself state. Lie Tzu's Xujing theory is resemble to Lao Chuang's. It not only displays that Xujing is the universe's essential qualities, but also surpass the life and death. It's main peculiarity is the canonize to"no"."No"is the reverse side of"have", is the outright empty. Lie Tzu is set out from the reverse side of life, give death the penetrating significance. At the same time, it solve all the implacability of life, and impenetrate the absolute freedom of Xujing. Kuan Tzu's Xujing theory is something intellect. It's to say how to rule but not action, so construct a harmonious in the rule of country and rule of heart. Xujing theory of Han Fei Tzu's kernel is law. Taoism is the supplement and extend of law. And at the same time give Xujing a surpass spirit-not only surpass dissidents, but also ourselves. This is the back to LaoChuang. Xujing theory of Xun Tzu based on Confucian theory of "Ge wu zhi zhi" (to study the phenomena of nature in order to acquire knowledge; to study the nature of things ).That is to say only the heart maintains a state of emptiness, our knowledge can continuously increase, and also to make the diverse images to the existence of the order to achieve a"Da Qing Ming"(clean)Realm. So, we can say Xujing is a multi-level, multi-angle, with rich connotations'theory. As ontology, as the starting point and destination of the universe provides a hypothesis, but also for the development of Chinese literature has provided permanent resources, formed a theory with Chinese characteristics. As a strategy of governing the country it provides a more systematic Theory for the rulers. As a way to keep fit, it put forward a complete viewpoints to adjust the mental and physical conditioning and the use of"Qi"(gas), it has enormous role to the formation of Oriental medicine. As a way to cultivate the heart and nature he powerful shape of the Chinese people's thinking and character…In these several levels, Ontology is the foundation, it specified person, including all things are subordinate to Xujing. And all should maintain Xujing, return to Xujing. Xujing is a framework to reality.
