The significance of studying Zhuangzi’s philosophy of life is to let our life return to the life standard,follow the nature of the Tao’s noumenon to let life return to the true,and let our souls have nothing to rely on.Contemporary social life makes people feel tired,which is caused by the external things that are too tied up inside.Only by abandoning such shackles and leaving the mind with no place to depend on,can life be free and access to the vast wilderness.At this time,everyone can appreciate the carefree state of‘Go up traveling with the creator,and down make friends with people who don’t care about life.’Starting from the fable of ‘enormous legendary fish changes and roc flying’,we can finally feel the unity of the subject’s mood and the state of heaven and earth through understanding Chuang Tzu’s mind,the beauty of life and Chuang Tzu’s attitude towards life under the guidance of Taoism.Chuang Tzu is broad-minded and heroic,and his perception of life and death is a kind of cosmology.This is to start from the noumenon of‘Tao’,move towards the metaphysical life,and finally return to the origin of the universe--‘Tao’ through the perception of individual life.When ‘heart’ experienced the struggle with ‘form’,it can finally transcend life and death and realize the beauty of life by using self-cultivation to return to emptiness and silence and breaking the mask of ‘intentionality’.The ultimate aim of this procedure has been accomplished,that is,to dissolve the finitude of life while preserving the autonomy of personal existence.Ultimately,the absolute nature of life is attained,and the sublime and transcendence of life is realized.
