Zhuangzi theory of beauty, built on his "natural way" of philosophy. "Imitation of Nature" is the foundation of his aesthetic theories, although heritage in Taoism Lao Zi, but the difference is I, I explained focusing on what is the road, but he is more focused on describing how the Dao. Therefore, the essence of his aesthetic, access, create all around this expansion at a time when overall social alienation deposit spawned Zhuang Zi natural feeling indifferent pursuit. Zhuangzi experience and understanding of beauty, but also with his respect for nature, indifferent to the situation of the broad-minded individuals are closely related.His view of aesthetic experience is unique, he "Happiness" as a man of the greatest happiness, and this is the essence of happiness is a natural feeling, rather than so-called ordinary people get rich, splendor, high, longevity like happiness, it is "appropriate," a "forget the proper fit." People only achieve the "right", "self suit different needs" and thus able to "forget the fitness of fitness", to "complacent." Aesthetic state of mind when the "tour" from "Escape" aesthetic realm to achieve "God encounter" aesthetic realm, which can understand the "Tao."

He believes that "Tao" technology to create activity is the root cause of beauty, in creative activities, creators have to get rid implicate foreign objects, "wood", "forgot" dedicated, concentrating carried creation of beauty, and finally " nature of things and " " easily " by the " technical " and " arts ", and then get great freedom, to get the greatest joy. Therefore, Zhuangzi opposed fame heart, "ingenuity heart" and "deliberate yet the line" and all utilitarian behavior. Zhuangzi view, this is not only not really happy, but also a "great bitterness."Thus, Zhuangzi aesthetic understanding, not only alive Degeneration, to force fight, fame was the historic significance of the impetuous, benefits or reduce the current society is still practical significance. Increasing pressure of human existence, and the pursuit of desire for material filled daily life, so that today the community over fame, pleasure-seeking. For extreme expansion of material desires, spiritual connotation of extreme emptiness of modern people, how to remove the impetuous heart, leaving the heart utilitarian, resist the temptation of the outside world, people return to the true, the beauty of having a Zhuangzi theory mention the role of the police.
