The Mirror Of The Real Man�A Study Of The Abnormal Person In "Zhuangzi Decongfu"

In the �Inner Chapters� of the Zhuangzi,�De Chong Fu� focuses on six deformed people with extremely high moral character,this reflects Zhuangzi's idea of "virtue is good but form is forgotten".Zhuangzi often uses deformed people and things to describe social environment at that time.In the distorted world of "conflicts of interests",even trees can only survive if they are useless to people,and human distortion is inevitable.Through the experience of abnormal people in the world,the Zhuangzi presents a criticism of Confucian benevolence and politics.At the same time,through the magical performance of abnormal people's virtue,people deeply realize that there is a certain deviation between individual virtue and form in the chaotic times.Individual awareness of the reality of the distorted world Reid and form must deviate from the beginning of the world beyond the mundane.Along with deformed men,Zhuangzi also refers to perfected men.They live in the mountains,"not eating grain,drinking the wind and drinking the dew".They stand out from the vulgar world.They represent the ideal personality in the Zhuangzi.Returning back to the deformed world,the severity of the penalty people treading on thin ice,even narrowly escaping penalties,bound by the shackles of etiquette.In the world of ubiquitous distortion of ritual and punishment,body and life are difficult to remain whole and healthy.Therefore,for people in the real world,"the supreme man","the sage" and "the genuine man" are all unattainable ideals,and the deformed man may be the mirror left to us by Zhuangzi to reflect the world's illusion,and also the possibility of transcendence,in order to reflect on the genuine existence.
