Laozi and Zhuangzi's Taoist Viewpoints of Life and Death

In his preliminary exploration of life and death,Laozi reflected deeply on their mutual pervasion and transformation and established a naturalistic view of life and death.After Laozi's eulogy of the value of life,Zhuangzi began to expound profoundly the value of death.He believed that,as the motion of matter,life and death are predestined,integrated,transformed and are both virtuous.Therefore a man should abide by the laws of life and death and should not be disturbed by their changes,for life is like a journey and death is like returning home.
