Chuang Tzu's "free and unfettered" thought is the core and direction of his philosophical meditation.As for Chuang Tzu's "free and unfettered" meditation,"free and unfettered" thought presents a systematic and organic integrity.As the object of Chuang Tzu's meditation,the derivation of "free and unfettered" takes "the debate between heaven and man" as its background and horizon.In "the debate between heaven and man",Chuang Tzu first distinguished two forms of human existence: one is "secular man" or secularized form,the other is an ideal and true man.And the latter takes “heaven” as the internal regulation.It can be said that between heaven and man,"man" regards "heaven" as the nature of truth,while "heaven" regards "man" as the value orientation.However,in the actual process of "being" in the world,people often indulge themselves in the secular world,and lose the true themselves.They cannot extricate themselves from the secular disassimilation,and no longer have the true freedom.Chuang Tzu introduced "free and unfettered" into the process of human being's in the world with the concern of how to make "self" get rid of the existence form of human being's secularization and materialization and move towards the ideal and natural truth of nature.Associated with it is how to make "free and easy" possible.Chuang Tzu takes "Tao" as the inner basis of "free and unfettered".Taking the essence of the world of life as "dao tong" and the interweaving of "man" and "Tao" from "Tao" and "Morality" as content,"Tao" endows "free and unfettered" with internal basis and possibility.Taking "the transformation of vision" on the level of "knowledge" and "the empirical way" on the dimension of "line" as the path and effort,Chuang Tzu transformed the possibility of "free and unrestrained" given by "Tao" into reality.The efforts transformed into spiritual state,with the transcendence of "being alone with the spirit of heaven and earth,but not in all things" and the ideal personality of "being free and unfettered" of "being free and unfettered to man,man of God,saint,man of heaven and man of reality" as its content,Chuang Tzu finally presented the world with a "free and unfettered" state.Thus,from the origin,basis,path and the state of "free and unfettered",Chuang Tzu's thought of free and unfettered presents its inner logic and order to the world.
