Being tradition, the meaning of Zhuangzi's thinking is not constant but vitalitical. There're new meaning coming in different history period and culture context. In the present society, the inner spiritual prop of individual isn't in good condition. They are not at ease for the psychological structure of the subject's cognition, emotion and will. The other problem is that the present aesthetics study is in difficult position .We'll re-interpret the thinking of Zhuangzi in order to help solving these problems.Zhuangzi values the individual's life and pursues the liberty of the existence which makes his thinking stand on the life existence. He criticizes the mutual-subject wo who is in separate condition of his human nature,emotion and lust. Aimmed at returning to the no-mutual subject wu, the mutual-subject should extricate himself from epistemology, moral principles and physical world . Obtained entire and unrestrained existence, humon being can be in the integrated condition of human nature, emotion and lust.In separate position, Wo's thinking pattern was dualism of subject/object. Because of intentional action wo loses his inner nature. In Zhuangzi's theory, the emotion and lust manifested in this process ought to be removed. The way coming back from Wo to Wu is the result of spirtual civilization. Differed from the dualistic thinking pattern, the way of poetical thinking makes human nature manifest itself naturally and completely.The significance of Zhuangzi's thinking lies in the individual's inner psychological world. He provides othe:1 yardstick to understand the life. On the whole, Zhuangzi's theory of human nature appears the visionary situation of the subject existence but not the real one. It's the freely and entirely aesthetic life on classical aesthetic standpoint. It's super universal sight opens up widely the psychological realm of people who lives in the concrete social reality and makes them feel poetical existence. In other aspect, the way of Zhuangzi'thinking will inspire the study of aesthetics.All in all, the evaluation of Zhuangzi's theory has dual-nature.The super manner of reality makes Zhuangzi solve the problem by de-structure means.The problem is solved imaginarily but not realy. In fact, only people living in concrete society faces the problem straight and overcomes it vividly. Human being will go on good condition.
