The origin of the philosophical thought of LaoZhuang

The origin of Laozi's thought:

Laozi's idea of "softness" and "femininity" originated from "Guizang (Kunqian)" of the Shang Dynasty. Lao Tzu's cosmological system of "Dao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things" is actually "three begets all things", and this "three" is the "Three Talents" of the Big Easy. This "three" is the third of the "three talents" of the Da Yi. Yang Xiong developed Lao Zi's cosmological system of "three births for everything" and created the "Taixuan" system of nine hundred and ninety-one zangs of the triple system. The "Tongzi Qiyi" pointed out that "Taixuan" should be a new cosmological illustration and theoretical system constructed by Yang Xiong imitating the "Two Instruments Generation Mode" of "Zhouyi" on Laozi's proposition of "Three (Talents) Generate All Things. "

Zhuang Zi, name Zhou, character Zi Xiu, number Nan Hua Zhen Zhen Zhen, one of the four Taoist Zhen Zhen Zhen, Huaxia ethnicity, the people of Chu Meng, the representative of the Taoist school of the middle of the Warring States period, the famous thinkers, philosophers, literati, one of the main founders of the doctrine of Taoism. He was the successor and developer of Laozi's thought. In later times, he and Laozi were known as "Laozhuang" (老庄). Their philosophical thought system is honored as "Laozhuang Philosophy" by the intellectual and academic circles. The representative works are "Zhuangzi" and the famous works such as "Easy Travel" and "The Theory of Things".

The origin of Zhuangzi's thought:

There are two main sources of Zhuangzi's thought, one is Laozi, and the other is the Book of Changes. The original Classic of Zhouyi never embodied the words yin and yang, but Zhuang Zi had the insight that "the Yi to the Tao of yin and yang." Zhuang Zi's idea of "Three Lai" (三籁) - Heavenly Lai, Earthly Lai, and Human Lai - is an alternative name for the I Ching's idea of "Three Talents" (三才). Zhuang Zi respected the way of heaven and advocated that "heaven and earth were born together with me, and all things were one with me", emphasizing the "unity of heaven and man".

Chuang Zi is a good Confucian counter-proposition. Confucianism advocates "heaven and man are divided", Zhuangzi in the "Zhuangzi - three wood" said "no beginning but not the end, people and the sky is also one." Mr. Li Xueqin pointed out: Zhuang Zi "three wood" this chapter in the understanding of the relationship between man and heaven is exactly the opposite of Confucius, "man and heaven are divided" idea, which "is precisely Zhuang Zi school of customary techniques.
