Abstract
The Laozi-Zhuangzi philosophy is constantly known as philosophy of negation which does not deny the kingship though.While anarchy and inaction is considered as the best worldly status,the evil desires drive human beings out of their own nature.Through the action or war under the ruler,individuals may regain their lost homes.It is argued that the action of the Taoism is nothing but a change,unlike the conception of convention claimed by Mencius.This echoes with the metaphysics by Buddhism of Wei and Jin.
