Research Of Master Zhuang's Philosophy From Perspective Switching In Fable

According to Chinese ancient literatures,Master Zhuang is the first philosopher who created and made his own explanation to the concept "fable".Also,fable could occupy a great percentage-about 90%as the words say "Fables are nine-tenths"-in his book "Zhuangzi".The huge universe of Master Zhuang is combined by constantly switching scenes and totally different characters and objects,into this one world we could find that we are shifting besides different perspectives of different characters during the switching between different scenarios-this interesting phenomenon could bring a new starting point for studying Master Zhuang's philosophy.However,Matser Zhuang's fable is still lack of an agreeable academic definition,therefore,the divide of its concept seems crucial.If quoting "utilize the words of others to discuss the matter" to make differences to "saying of reputable peoples",fable could be defined as stories told to express certain point of view by avatar them in some characters or events.In detail,this paper focuses on long fables with rich connotation,researches "Inner Chapter" together with "Outer and Miscellaneous Chapters" and tries to give some explanations to prevision changing phenomenon appeared in typical fables.After sorting out perspective transformation of the fable in "Inner Chapter",we found that they have certain rules in the form of expression.From the perspective of composition structure,there are two forms of conversion patterns between different scenes among chapters,The first one is transforming with position of a specific character or object,the other one is changing scenes with different characters.From the aspect of concrete content,the first one is the shifting between actual situations and virtual fictions-scenes could turn around across fictions and realities.The second one is the fuzzy borderline between reality and fiction.Some characteristics also shows in perspective switching:adhesion and nesting of viewpoints and the ablation of subjects.In addition,as the timeline and author of the inner and outer miscellaneous articles could be quite different,this paper analyzes estrangements of viewpoints in fables following the character clue-Master Zhuang and Confucius.After analyzing the surface characteristics of these perspective conversion,Zhuangzi's core view should be analyzed through these representations.Therefore,this paper starts from collecting fables of similar themes together-discussing Master Zhuang's attitude of "free and unfettered" from aspects of considering materialization,his aesthetic standard by considering people with incomplete parts,his attitude towards life and death from considering the death and burial rules,and his political view by considering sage's rule-and finally draws the conclusion that Master Zhuang's thought is based on Tao as the core.his methodology is literally accommodating oneself to the nature and his purpose is to be "xiaoyao".The significance of the perspective switching in Zhuangzi is that it not only builds up the whole context,but also develops the reader's thinking mode and strengthens the expression of his concepts.The study of it is to make up for the gaps in philosophy-as among researches of Master Zhuang's philosophy and his fable these years,on the one hand,there is nothing about analyzing the perspective of Zhuangzi's fables in the study of Zhuangzi's philosophy,on the other hand,studies of perspectives of Zhuangzi's fables is mostly based on the aspect of literature.As a result,the significance of analyzing Zhuangzi's perspective shifting lies in the combination of literary research methods and philosophical thinking.Studying text parts that might easily been overlooked in Mater Zhuang's work,to provide extra viewpoints of researching Master Zhuang's philosophy.
