I can only listen to hearsay and simply compare their looks.
To tell the truth, it is impossible to know any of them, let alone both. Look at their headlines. One is a representative of the Taoist school. It is said that only two and a half people in China can read Zhuangzi (in Liu Wendian) throughout the ages, and the other is the founder of modern western philosophy.
Zhuangzi founded a real person: "Know what heaven does and what people do." The ancient emperor can only be called "the son of heaven", and Zhuangzi is obviously two grades higher than the son of heaven, because he is "knowing what heaven does". He has achieved the unity of heaven and man, and things are unbounded to me. He is not sad or happy for life and death, and he is not confused by foreign things. A quiet heart is indifferent and detached. Zhuangzi described his true nature in "Happy Travel", "On Everything" and "The Master". Of course, there are also some different names, such as man, god and saint, all of whom are probably at the same level.
Nietzsche founded Superman: a man who transcends modern human beings. Besides the truth, goodness and beauty generally recognized by human beings, what is good about rationality, morality, sense of justice and compassion? Nietzsche claimed that "God is dead" and Superman took its place. Nietzsche started his book Zarathustra by sending Superman down to save mankind.
Obviously, in time, Nietzsche's starting point is now, his superman exists in the future, and he is not satisfied that human beings have surpassed him to become his ideal figure now. Zhuangzi's real people existed in the past and lived with heaven and earth for a longer time. Nietzsche's superman is connected to the throne, which is obviously lower than Zhuangzi's real person.
After Nietzsche described the image of Superman, he then introduced the spirit of Superman: from camel to lion to child. Camels, lions and children are irrelevant. How did Superman end up as a teenager? Could it be that he also borrowed the famous saying of their teacher, Lao Zi: Can he still be a baby when he is emotionally soft? Camel said that he is a humble and obedient person, which is easy to understand! Tony uses camels to compare people who are used to "you should", and lions to compare "I want" and "be yourself" superman. How did you finally get back to "children"? Nietzsche didn't explain too much. The original words are: "Children are naive and forgetful, a brand-new beginning, a game, a rolling wheel, an original action and a sacred affirmation." "Now, the spirit has its own will, and the outcast of the world has its own world." Children are a brand-new beginning, a "self" that has not been polluted by the world. Children just act according to their own will and belong to their own world. Therefore, the three transformations of Nietzsche's spirit can be summarized in one sentence: "Be yourself", which is the spirit of Superman!
Zhuangzi doesn't even want himself, and proposes that there is no me! Zhuangzi specifically talked about his "no-self" state in "The Theory of Everything", and Zhuangzi invented "Nature, Earth and Man": Man makes sounds by talent, while the earth still makes sounds by natural tangible things, while nature comes from nature without any help. Achieve the integration of self and nature and achieve "unity"
Although, Zhuangzi's "no self" is higher than Nietzsche's "with me". But Zhuangzi's "no self" is innate, and Nietzsche's "I" is created the day after tomorrow. One is based on reality, one is based on ideal, one is real, and the other is imaginary. This is a bit like the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, one is innate quality, and the other is acquired supplement. The theory of TCM is based on China's philosophy, such as the unity of man and nature, Taoist nature, yin and yang and five elements. Although the research on the harmony between man and nature in TCM has been very in-depth, China's philosophy has rarely developed and the theoretical basis of TCM has rarely been established. Basically, doctors in all previous dynasties began to discuss it from Huangdi Neijing. The formation of Neijing was in the Han Dynasty. After that, China's basic theory of philosophy rarely developed. Nietzsche, on the other hand, created modern philosophy, and he created "Superman" with the theory of consciousness. Therefore, if Nietzsche and Zhuangzi's philosophy come down in one continuous line, it is worth pondering whether the theory of traditional Chinese medicine can be enriched.
