In “Chuang Tzu”,There is the care for the “individual life” that runs through it,the study of Zhuang zhou's thoughts cannot be separated from the investigation of his book and himself.Through the relevant study of historical document,it is sure that Zhuang Zhou has always been concerned about the individual's living conditions in the world,and showed a heavy pessimism,but he did not escape.After profoundly thinking about the relationship among the individual,the world and the nature,he chose “the naturalization of the world”and“the people enter into the heavens”.In Zhuang Zhou's eyes,the individual is oppressed and not free in the society.He believes that all the forms of “humanization” such as social political systems and secular evaluation systems are contrary to the laws of nature and are in the state of the distortion.The theory of the various schools of thoughts and subordinates is all about the“alienation” of language and has not reached the“sound of nature”.The ideal social form in Zhuang Zhou's mind is the harmonious and united among the individual,the society and the nature.The “individual” enters into the “nature”,a form of humanistic nature.In Zhuang Zhou's view,the individual must be in the heaven,earth,and the nature,so that obtain the real comfort.By recognizing the “qi hua” concept of evolution and survival of all things,all things are gathered together and disappear because of “qi”.On the basis of “qi”,everything is different,life and death are nothing,not pleased by being alive,not sad because of death,a life and death.on the Tao,the meaning of individual life is manifested in nature.In the eyes of Zhuang Zhou,whether in the nature or in the society,only by being externalized but not be internalized can individuals reach that the body is consistent with the society,and the heart is in consistent with the Tao,and finally can be obtain freedom inside and outside.
