Today, people' s subject is unprecedented published. As a tool for publicity, technology, on the one hand, is expanding the freedom, on the other hand also plays a negative role. In its process of "showing" "to cover" , technology helps mankind to find freedom and to create all kinds of possibilities. But at the same time, it obscures and forgets more possibilities. It is the symbol of power of the subject' s self-shows, and also the main force of self-destruction. Technology, on the one hand, is the representative of the unlimited expansion of human' s "power will" , on the other hand is the omnipresent of technology ration. "Power will" is a realization of freedom, but actually is the degenerate of freedom. Free will becomes power will, and freedom yields to the power. This is the truth that technology ration dominates the world. Today' s power is not maintained by fear and threaten, but supported by reason and logic. Reason and logic is of a seamless network, everything is included in a "no difference", so that modern technology has completely become a "non-technical" thing. Maintaining the "difference" in the "seamless" of original technology has completely lost. In addition, from the experience, ecological imbalance, environmental pollution, and nuclear war are the forever lingering nightmares that technology left us after it met people' s benefits. The rapid development of modern technology is, intentionally or unintentionally, deviated from the purpose of humanity in the direction.It is the real reason that Zhuang-zi' s technical view initiates harmony relate between the human and the natural and human nature and humanities mood which the Zhuang-zi thought more counts the millennium still the true reason which pursued for us holds in. Facing all sorts of crisis which technology alienation brings,We have the necessity to regard the entire Earth's ecological environment as a whole , regard the entire human destiny as a whole, regard various domains relations in the technicalsystem as a whole, regard the development of the technical and the society as a whole, regard the technical and the humanity spiritual life as a whole. In addition, we should have the scientific attitude of surmounting rationality, unify the rationality with the non- rationality, get rid of the narrow utility goal, get rid of the limits of the rationalism values and the thinking mode, overcome the arehighly intense between the person and the nature, the person and the person, the person and the society which the technical disassimilation creates, cause the humanity get out "the human center" erroneous zone, soberly knew that the humanity also is the cosmic inventory part, processe correctly the relations between the person and the thing, the person and the nature. Next, today when person' s essence already constituted by the technology, it is impossible and not realistic to completely oppose the technology. Zhuang-zi payed attention to mind boundary and survival itself, emphasized alternately induction between the person and the world , not the end of rationality or knowledge, appealed the people listen to the sound from oneself life deep place in the time passing, obtainedthetrue comprehension regarding own existence significance. Therefore, the technical development must regard the man as the final goal, society's all essential factors inevitably press its arrange as the person' s survival and development, the technical various essential factors construct must have to be consistent with the human nature' s law of development, and so, the useness and the development of the technology can be controled in the scope which is advantageous to the person' s survival and development. Finally, in our country technology disassimilation social root was already eliminated, we still should strengthen and consummate the socialist system, hold the opportunity, persists science development view which toward the purpose of man. For the purpose of man, is the basic value orientation of the science development view. Comprehensive, coordination, sustainable, is for the person and for the person's full scale development in the final analysis.Because of this, this paper intends to start from "the Unity of Nature and Humanity" form Zhuangzi' s concept of technology harmony, gives full play to its modern signification and value of technology philosophy, and wishes to provide theoretical guidance and practical reference for modern technology which is developing involved with alienation.
