In the face of the war-torn and turbulent social reality of the Warring States period,how to survive as an individual in this era became the theme of the times.On the basis of inheriting Laozi’s thoughts,Zhuang Zi combined with the development of the times and personal thinking to create a philosophy of life which is the ideology of "You Shi" to cope with the chaotic era.When Zhuang Zi’s ideology of "You Shi" realizes that the individual life cannot change the objective environment,it reconstructs the relationship between life and the environment with the subject’s true consciousness of life,surmounts the constraints of life with the pursuit of life essence,copes with the era dilemma by a a positive attitude towards life which is seemingly negative.This thesis mainly combs four aspects.The first aspect is about the background and theoretical origin of Zhuang Zi’s ideology of "You Shi".In the social context of that time,active thinking leads to cultural reflection,such as questioning the war,technical criticism,which causes the appearance of thought.Zhuang Zi’s political experience,personal realistic dilemma and unique thinking about life are personal reasons of the ideology of "You Shi".In terms of theoretical origin,the ideology of "You" inherited the thoughts of Lao Zi’s “Tao”,the ideology of "Wang"(Forget)has close meaning with the thoughts of Lao Zi’s "reduction",and the direct contact of "Xu Jing"(Quiet)and "You shi" shows the obviously inheritance relationship between Zhuang Zi and Lao Zi.The second aspect is about the content of Zhuang Zi’s ideology of "You Shi".On the ontology,"Qi Wu" is the fundamental basis of Zhuang Zi’s ideology of "You Shi"."Qi Wu" is "Qi Tao".The reconciliation of "Shi-fei" brings about the ideology of "You Shi".The unified understanding of the subject and the object provides assurance to ideology of "You Shi".On the epistemology,the cognition of "Zhi" is the basic understanding of the nature of the subject,thinking about "fit" is an extension of the object law,and the ideology of "You Shi" pursuits a harmony state of the subject and the object.On the methodology,the “game”is the way of representation which comes from the "play" instinct in people’s nature."You You"(leisurely and carefree)is the active appearance of the game,which reaches the state of "Nothing but no good".The third aspect is about the practice of Zhuang Zi’s ideology of "You Shi".Zhuang Zi practices the ideology of "You Shi" through anomalous life experience,perceptual thinking and the pursuit of life essence.The fourth aspect is about the guiding significance for modern life of Zhuang Zi’s ideology of "You Shi".Zhuang Zi’s ideology of "You Shi" runs through ancient and modern times,extends the breadth and depth of modern human life,provide a rational way of thinking and provides reference for people’s life attitudes.Zhuang Zi’s ideology of "You Shi" is rooted in the reality of life in the Warring States Period.It traced back to Taoist ideals of life.It dispels the contradiction between objective inevitability and subjective possibility in a active mode.The ideology of "You Shi" realizes the transcendence of the traditional attitudes of "Out" and "In" and respondes to the theme of that time.Zhuang Zi’s ideology of "You Shi" provides an important epistemological and methodological enlightenment for modern people to pursue their ideals of life and nature.
