"Chuang-Tzu" is a Taoist classic with both ideology and literature in the pre-Qin period,Chuang-tzu's Taoism is the core part of Chuang-tzu's thought.In"Treatise on the Equality of Things",Chuang-tzu put forward the word "Axis of Tao" to summarize the thought of Treatise on the Equality of Things,The thought of "ring center" is one of most important parts of Chuang-tzu's Taoism,theory of "Axis of Tao" and "ring center" is also the Internal Logic of Chuang-tzu's philosophy of Life.This paper is divided into three chapters.The first chapter is the main part of this paper,The first section discusses the ancient and modern interpretation of "Axis of Tao",This chapter starts with the analysis of the text.Chuang-tzu put forward the view of'I have lost myself'at the beginning of "Treatise on the Equality of Things",and discusses the confrontation between different emotions,man and nature,speech and judgement of truth and falsehood definition and natural things.The way to know the"Tao" is to eliminate confrontation.This is the meaning of "Axis of Tao".At last This chapter analyzes from the perspective of"Qi" and"materialized" that "ring center" is the spiritual realm of "Nothingness and Immutable".Chapter Two discusses the relationship between empirical knowledge and true knowledge,and The image of"Zhenren" from the horizon of "Axis of Tao","Zhenren"is"Immutable"and return to natural humanity,saints have talent for governing the country,and"Shenren" reaches the realm of integration with"Tao".The third chapter discusses how to reach the realm of "Axis of Tao".This chapter include purifying heart,forgetting and the theory of"De".The focus of this chapter is on the interpretation of Chuang-tzu's "dream",The author considers that the theory of materialization in"Treatise on the Equality of Things"is not basis on the theory of"Qi",but is based on the"Axis of Tao".Chuang-tzu elaborated the relationship between moral cultivation and self-preservation on the basis of'ring center" and the way of living in the social environment at that time.For the concept of "Axis of Tao" and "ring center" in "Chuang-Tzu",Since Guo Xiang,people have mostly understood"ring center" with nothingness.But as Liu Wu said,the point of this phrase is not to point to the "empty" in the "ring",but to grasp the "Axis".Compared with the Confucian view of the Golden Mean,Chuang-Tzu's Golden Mean is the center of the ring.under the unique view of Golden Mean,"ring center"expresses multiple connotations including the cultivation realm of "Xu"on the basis of "Qi" theory,"Tao","De","Humanity and Destiny",etc.The realm of "Axis of Tao" is also the life realm of dealing with everything.
