What is the philosophy of Laozi and Zhuangzi?

Lao Zi will always be Lao Zi, and Zhuangzi will always be Zhuangzi. Their thoughts and literary works are integrated into Laozi's thoughts and philosophy. It and Confucian philosophy are the two pillars of China culture.

Laozi's ideological system takes "Tao" as the core, but its most basic spirit lies in the word "nature". Therefore, Lao Xue is a consistent ideological system based on "Heaven", advocating "Heaven", requiring human beings to conform to "Heaven", return to simplicity, and take "nature" and "inaction" as the ideal realm of society and life.

Zhuang studies attach great importance to the individual's mental or psychological state as the subject. What he explores is how people can obtain complete spiritual freedom and open and independent personality. What he is trying to pursue is a state in which people forget what they have always known and their own desires, and when they are guilty, they are carefree and self-satisfied. It is a state of selflessness after the integration of man and nature. Zhuangzi emphasized "namelessness", "reactive power" and "selflessness". In his view, only by getting rid of the troubles of fame and fortune and transcending the existence of self can we achieve "no fatigue" and unlimited spiritual freedom.
