Research On Li Zhi's Study Of Chuang-tzu

Zhuangzi's theory is an important part of the Taoist school,It was a prominent and far reaching influence on the Chinese philosophy,There has also been a steady stream of scholars interpreting Zhuangzi's ideas in a variety of ways.However,due to the different times and scholars different vision and research methods,their research results in Chuang-tzu are also different.In the middle and late Ming Dynasty,Because of the special situation of social economy,politics and culture at that time,especially the influence of mind-study thought,Chuang-tzu got the development.The number of people annotating Zhuangzi's book has increased,and so has the number of related works,with the characteristics of the fusion of Confucianism,Buddhism and Taoism.Li Zhi is a representative figure of this period.Li Zhi,learning from the theory of mind,studied the thought of Taizhou School led by Wang Gen.he cared about the daily life of the masses.Instead of talking about the nature of the heart,He wanted to break through the fetters of social culture and pursue the spirit of openness,freedom and self.From the perspective of Li Zhi's ideological system,although he was deeply influenced by the theory of mind,Buddhism,Taoism,and many other ideas,his personality was open,opposed to feudal bondage,and criticized "hypocritical thinking",which are related to Chuang-tzu.Li Zhi wrote Lao Zi Jie and Zhuang Zi Jie,he did not use the traditional way of annotation,but by way of annotation to express his own meaning,thus constructing his new theory.Therefore,our study of Li Zhi's thoughts is not only helpful to reveal the development and characteristics of Chuang-tzu in the Ming Dynasty,but also helpful to reveal the internal logic and characteristics of Li Zhi's thoughts,which are of great academic value and practical significance.In this paper,the logic and history of unity and comparative analysis of research methods to study Li Zhi's Study of Chuang-tzu,the paper is divided into four parts.The first part mainly discusses the social and cultural background of the formation of Li Zhi's thoughts.Li Zhi was born in the middle of the Ming Dynasty,when the country was faced with political corruption,social unrest,new changes in economic factors,the development of the Commodity,the growth of the civic class,and many challenges to traditional values,all of these have had an impact on Li Zhi.One of the most prominent is the prosperity of mind,which concerns the main body and the emancipation of the mind to promote the study of Chuang-tzu climax of the Ming Dynasty.Zhuang studies in the Ming Dynasty went through a process from silence in the early period to explosion in the middle and late period of the Ming Dynasty.It inherited the way of studying Chuang-tzu in the Song Dynasty and also showed the characteristics of the fusion of Confucianism,Buddhism and Taoism,undoubtedly,this academicatmosphere also has a great influence on the study of Li Zhi's theory.The second part mainly elaborates Lizhi's interest and characteristic.Zhuang Zi Jie is a work in which Li Zhi expresses his spiritual aspiration,and many of his thoughts are in accordance with Zhuangzi's.Li Zhi's way of explaining Zhuang is also different from others.He only explains Zhuangzi's inner chapter,but he abandons other chapters.Li Zhi focuses on the purpose of "Dao" and conforms to Zhuangzi's thought.Li Zhi also pays attention to the Zhuangzi text for the hierarchical interpretation,the theme is clear.At that time,the social atmosphere of worshipping Buddha and Li Zhi's love of Buddhism and Taoism made Li Zhi's way of explaining Zhuang obviously have the tendency of explaining Zhuang by Buddha.Therefore,the interpretation of Zhuangzi by Li Zhi not only has the characteristics of the times,but also shows the individual characteristics of his thoughts.The third part mainly elaborates the content of Li Zhi's theory.Li Zhi reveals his different opinions and thoughts while explaining Zhuang.It mainly displays in many aspects,such as Tao theory,peripateticism theory,Qi Wu theory,childlike innocence theory,etc..Li Zhi had his own understanding of "Tao follows nature",and he especially admired Zhuangzi's "truth" thought.The concrete manifestation is: humanity,the use of Tao;the real person,the authenticity and so on.Zhuang Zi Jie reflects Li Zhi's thought of Zhuang School in a more comprehensive way,advocating sincerity,advocating independent thinking and opposing Confucianism.These ideas had great repercussions at the time.The fourth part is mainly to launch the evaluation of Li Zhi's theory of Chuang-tzu,point out the achievement of his theory of Chuang-tzu and the bias of his theory of Chuang-tzu and the limitation of his theory of Li Zhi,analyze the enlightenment of Li Zhi's theory of Chuang-tzu to the present society.Lizhi tried to explain the inner chapters from different angles,but he lacked exegesis and textual research,and had some deficiencies.In addition,the independence of personality and emancipation of mind advocated by Li Zhi's theory of Chuang-tzu.It broke the hypocritical and impetuous atmosphere brought about by neo-confucianism at that time and promoted social progress.However,his thought was full of contradictions between the old and the new,Confucianism and Buddhism,freedom and bondage.Moreover,Li Zhi's Zhuangzi's thought was only a revision of the feudal society,and its significance of opposing the feudal society was limited to this.Nevertheless,in today's society,Li Zhi's theory of Chuang-tzu still plays an important role in shaping the ideal personality and ideological emancipation.
