Chuang-tzu is a saint, and the Chuang-tzu is a wonder. His background is hardly verified, besides"Records of the grand historian"has sporadic record in history. However, the Chuang-tzu is retained because of favorite of past dynasties'scholars. In author's opinion, an important reason for wonder of the Chuang-tzu is that it contains a great deal of ugly experience. There is certain tension between ugly experience and real life, because no matter society or life has a tendency towards esthetic, and it is human nature. We believe, as a sentimental, Aesthetics not only contains the study of esthetic activities, but also can't ignore the function of ugly activities. Even, the existence of ugly activities proves the mature of Aesthetics. As a saint, Chuang-tzu has unusual wisdom and courage, and his aesthetics interest is also special. Therefore, words from his pen have"unconventional"color. And ugly and monster board the stage on behalf of Chuang-tzu to speak Tao.The essay hopes to make up for deficiencies on the study of Chuang-tzu Aesthetics from the ugly of The Chuang-tzu's world. First of all, we can see that The Chuang-tzu's world is a ugly world through analysis of Chuang-tzu's text, figure, and connotative Tao. In the ugly world, we can see"leisure"Chuang-tzu, and more"needed"Chuang-tzu. Owing to the profound understanding of life, society, and Tao, the dimension of Chuang-tzu's ugly has three characteristics: rational ugly, bold ugly, and both beauty and ugly. Finally, the author focused on the ugly and monster. We can see the pursuit of virtue (shout to real person enlightened), unique concept of life and death (a life way of leisure), as well as a new sense of art (sense of ugly). At the baptism of Chuang-tzu's intelligence, the author wants to enhance the understanding of life.
