"Zhuangzi" contains a deep sense of compassion and tragic, It was rooted in recognizing the reality of society, resulting in a clear self-awareness to the reality of tragic and sad but can not change, the climax was desire to transcend the spiritual world but eventually only a big dream,therefore, it can only be used to cover up the appearance of seemingly unruly heart of the desolate helpless and suffering a sense of sad. The compassion and tragic sense of "Zhuangzi" mainly manifested in two aspects: on the one hand, the tragic sadness, on the other hand, the tragic pity. The sadness manifested in the face of reality to take the way of reconciliation, and the result was unsatisfactory, so can only be used "As the security of life" mentality to "Following time and fate". Tragic pity, it originated in the sense of crisis, which includes an intention to save but can not change. These features lay the "Zhuangzi" sense of the specificity of compassion.The cause of compassion and tragic sense of "Zhuangzi" mainly reflected in following: the contradiction of the dark troubled times and the personal encounter with the poor do not want to noble; the cultural personality in impact of national spirit in Chu, culture and sorcery winds of Seclusion;the consciousness of the universe and realize the awakening of personal consciousness after the emergence of life, development and demise of the unlimited and the limited perception of conflicts and the reunification. In this context, its expression mainly in the following areas: (A) "Following the time and fate". Through the time and fate, "Zhuangzi " realized the helpless in the short-term ,a variety of perishable life the sentiment of the established relationship between the destruction of ethics but in a profound sense of compassion. It stands for "Following the time and fate", however, it is "As security of life " intent to fight in the end with the community caused by the stubborn attitude of mocking it. It desires to return to the "Zhide World" and "Jiande country", but the ideal world is distant and unrealistic, and it will eventually become fantasy, which has deepened the gap between the virtually "Zhuangzi" sense of compassion . (B) Useless for use - "disability" tragedy. Zhuangzi is a strong sense of urgency and experience Pathetique "disability", but nothing to protect people's lives, have learned the reality of no scholars who laid a tragic end. Therefore, it aid to that "useless use", which is a great wisdom, However, the rise and fall of its own responsibility in the world to fame to honor a taxi in terms of wealth, which is a kind of hiding one's capacity suffering and self-worth on the back, which makes the experience Pathetique "Zhuangzi" the scholars of that era issued by the most heavy sigh of sadness, sense of compassion so as to add a touch of mournful mournful. (C) To be contradictory with the question. "Zhuangzi" desire to take the spirit of detachment from the reality of suffering and restraint, not to be true of freedom. However, this is a beautiful illusion that can never be fully aware of its existence from the reality, we can only structure in the spirit of painting the sky vision. It's from the physical constraints and emotional "Zhenren Zhiren Shenren " realm of contradictions and moral code of conduct and social order and the in action of the contradictions in the pursuit of fame and fortune with the contradiction between the pursuit of Happy focus, the reality to be an expression of helplessness and the spirit of longing to be free. This reality and the gap between the ideals of compassion makes sense in addition invisible.In short, the sense of compassion and tragic of "Zhuangzi" for the development of Chinese classical literature have had a profound impact, not only to lay the Confucian mentality choose complementary arts of life, the tone of Chinese classical literature, but also enriched the Chinese classical literature subject matter, and promote a desire to go beyond life and death anxiety, deep in natural, immortals relief, the realization of a dream as a theme to develop creative works. It allows future generations of scholars in the depressed frustrated towards the end of "Zhuangzi" of the spiritual world, the beginning of the pursuit of the spirit of life and art life in order to remove the boredom brought about by the reality. so that they eventually become independent of the literati, so as to promote Chinese prosperity and development of classical literature.
