3. Zhuangzi's world.

The uniqueness of the world of Zhuangzi lies in that the author regards the seven chapters of written by Zhuangzi himself as a complete world with a ring structure. Each chapter is relatively independent, but it is connected with the other six chapters from beginning to end, closely linked and repeated, forming an all-encompassing life society, covering ideals, spirits, thoughts, society, life, consciousness, practice, social life and governing the country.

As the opening of "Happy Travel", Zhuangzi first constructed a detached "wild desert" and "mountain shot from the valley", where there are unknown saints for the monarch, reactive gods for the ministers and selfless people for the people. This is Zhuangzi's ideal world. Then, the second article "On the Homology of Things" first demonstrates the philosophical basis of this ideal world with metaphysical thinking, and then gradually moves from pure thinking to the secular world and returns to the real world where no one can stay out of it. So there is the Ming Jun Yao, who symbolizes the "unknown saint" in the real society, the Ming Jun Bu who has both the talent and the way of being a saint in The Great Master, and many courtiers with the characteristics of "the god of reactive power", as well as all gentlemen in the world, who were born in prosperity but different from ordinary people, such as the world. After a series of arguments in the real world, Zhuangzi's world was finally completed in England. The so-called emperor, I think it contains two meanings. One is how to deal with the emperor for the people, and the other is how to be emperor for the emperor. There is a description in "The Emperor" that "it is slow to lie down and feel; Treat yourself as a horse and treat yourself as a cow; His informed letter, with a very real virtue, echoes the wild desert in Xiaoyao and the Shan Ye I miss, while Tianchi, South America and North America in Xiaoyao are transformed into the South China Sea in The Emperor. The author of Zhuangzi's World reveals Zhuangzi's development track from the ideal world to the real world with convincing analysis, and explains how Zhuangzi responded to the ideal of "suddenly losing the world" in "Happy Travel" with the reality of "chaotic death" in "The Emperor", which shows his profound thinking about the tragic fate of mankind and his clear understanding of the hopeless society today.
