Due To The Pass Gentleman - Wang Fu-chih Chuang Studies,

Wang Fuzhi in the Neo-Confucianism tradition of life has will to realize in oneself, and research and note " Zhuangzi " is necessary as for reaching of this purpose. At the same time,decided by his rigorous position of Confucianism, on the one hand his research is hoped to keep the original existence of all Zhuangzi's theories , on the other hand tries hard to clear up the hidings from the truth.Wang Fuzhi thinks that Zhuangzi sets forth one's views according to the theory of "Hun Tian", and sets out to build all Zhuangzi's theories in progress from this. The concept of "Hun Tian" has two aspects meaning: all and part. The Sky still gives play to the effect as "Shen" after congealing person's shape. As the Sky in person's shape, "Shen" is the basis for person to realize its surmount. Zhuangzi hopes that people recover and possess pure gas and give play to the function of "Shen". If so, people can help to realize the circulate and harmonious of "Hun Tian"..There is very big value in Zhuangzi's theory. But, his theory still exists some shortcomings for a serious Confucian. Firstly, this theory does not analysis the principle of the muddy sky's operation. Secondly, Zhuangzi does not explain the important value of parents for people's surmounts. Thirdly, the ability of person is equal to the muddy sky's ability in Zhuangzi's theory, people can not come to sage's level. It's the common purpose for Zhuangzi and Confucians to realize the circulate and harmonious of "Hun Tian", but, Confucians does not separate himself from the reality of everyday.By way of the detailed research which Wang Fuzhi has done, Zhuangzi's theory will help to realize the ideal of Confucians.
