As Chuang Tzu's political ideal, the government of a enlightened king shows that he chased the 'nature', and hoped everybody has his (her) own 'character' and 'nature'. This depends on two factors: one is the inside painstaking to recover one's character and experience 'Tao';the other is the outside environment and social factors, namely the government of a enlightened king. As for, Chuang Tzu truth is mostly about true character which is reached by means of 'Tao', and the recovery and impersonate of 'Tao' on human. To return to one's true character is also the painstaking to experience 'Tao'. It pays attention to 'out of oneself, namely out of the shade of fame, interest and desire right from our flesh and blood, out of the thinking and action resulting from this shade. Only by this can one experience the vast and full 'Tao', get out of his flesh and blood and reach the nature oneself. Only obey 'Tao' can one adapt to things and experience the freedom . The outside require is for the king: the first is king's skill to control himself to be selfless namely 'lost sight of oneself;the second is king's correctitude which is to correct himself, tune to his nature and manage others;the third , king's 'action' should really reach the goal and obey the 'nature' to shape individuality. By means of both inside and outside job, everybody live in 'nature ', freedom and diapason.
