Compared with other pre-Qin scholars,the unique value of Zhuangzi 's philosophy is that it is not keen to establish a set of social public value system,but pays more attention to the survival status of individual life,based on the individual 's survival dilemma and seeking spirit Philosophy centered on detachment.Zhuangzi broke through the limits of the existing knowledge system in the social background at that time.He keenly sensed the alienation of human nature caused by the civilized society,trying to return people to the original state of life,and seeking a spiritual relief ideal for the survival of individuals way.As an important category and purpose of Zhuangzi's philosophy,"Dao" is also the metaphysical basis of Zhuangzi's concept of survival.It can be said that Zhuangzi's "Dao" theory pointed out the direction for people in difficult situations.From Zhuangzi's point of view,"Dao" not only creates everything in the universe,but also the fundamental law of the movement of the universe.Everything follows the Dao.Zhuangzi's "Dao" theory is conducive to our return to life itself,and to consider the survival problem of the harmonious development of "human and nature","human and human" and "human and self".This article combines the unique ideas of Zhuangzi's concept of survival with the current social realities to explore the modern value of Zhuangzi's concept of survival.The full text is mainly divided into four parts: The first part mainly expounds the background of the times produced by Zhuangzi's concept of survival.The mid-Warring States period of Zhuangzi's life was a period of great political,economic,and cultural changes in China's ancient history.Wars were frequent and the people's lives were difficult.Therefore,Zhuangzi paid particular attention to the problem of human survival.The second part discusses the relevant theoretical basis of Zhuangzi's concept of survival.Through Zhuangzi's comprehension of "Dao" and "Qi",it clarifies the process of Zhuangzi's survival concept."The Dao" produces everything,and "Qi" transforms everything,which is the main reason for the survival of the individual's life;the nature of the Dao does nothing,everything must follow the "Dao" and develop in harmony.The third part discusses Zhuangzi's thinking about human survival.In real life,the irresistible "erotic desire","time fate",and "life and death" circumstances haveinspired Zhuangzi's yearning and pursuit of the free world.Therefore,Zhuangzi chose the survival attitude of "flexible behavior" and the highest survival state of "freely psyche" in order to relieve the burden of the human mind from these two aspects and achieve absolute freedom of the spirit.The fourth part mainly discusses the important enlightenment of Zhuangzi's concept of survival for people suffering from physical and mental oppression.In reality,each person's specific situation is different,but they also face problems such as lust,life and death.Through the study of Zhuangzi's concept of survival,we are inspired to understand the issues of "eroticism","time" and "life and death" faced by real life,return to the truth of life,and realize ourselves on the spiritual level.
