You see me as a ruling minister, but you don't know how to avoid it. Do you want to treat yourself as a ruling minister and be equal to me?

It's almost from "Zhuangzi De Chong Fu Shen Tu Jia, Wu Zhe Ye" that Zi Jian is in power instead of Zi Qi. A famous thinker, philosopher and writer, he is a representative of Taoism, the successor and developer of Laozi's philosophical thought, and the founder of Zhuangzi School in the pre-Qin period.

His theory covered all aspects of social life at that time, but the fundamental spirit still belonged to Laozi's philosophy. Later generations called him and Laozi "Laozi" and their philosophy was "Laozi's philosophy".

The book reflects Zhuangzi's relativism and mysticism philosophy and outlook on life. Its content is rich and profound, involving philosophy, life, politics, society, art and many other aspects. Its ideological content mainly includes the following aspects:

to protect oneself throughout life and to be carefree and inaction. Whole-life health preservation is the central issue of Taoism, which was systematically discussed by Zhuangzi. He believes that people can neither be useful nor completely useless, but should be "between material and non-material." More importantly, we should pursue spiritual freedom-doing nothing. Doing nothing is the best form or the highest realm of life-long protection.

Appreciation of works

The structure of Zhuangzi's articles is very strange. It doesn't look tight, and it often comes suddenly, doing whatever you want and stopping what you want. Wang Yang is reckless, changing for no reason, and sometimes seems irrelevant, jumping up and down at will, but his thoughts can run through.

Sentence patterns are also rich in variety, whether they are smooth or inverted, long or short, with rich vocabulary, detailed description and irregular rhyme, which is extremely expressive and original.

Wang Yang in Zhuangzi's writing is unrestrained, his images are bold, his imagination is strange and rich, and his emotions are moist and broad-minded, giving people a feeling of being extraordinary and sublime, which is unique in China's literary history. His article system has been separated from the quotation form, which indicates that the pre-Qin prose has developed to a mature stage. It can be said that Zhuangzi represents the highest achievement of the pre-Qin prose.
