On Zhuangzi's Moral Criticism

From Tao's perspective,Zhuangzi criticized false social morality and moral principle mercilessly,in adherence to Laozi's view reiterating that all ethical values originate from or are based on Tao( morality) rather than so- called material wealth,social relations,or political power. Following this standing point,Zhuangzi pointed out:( 1) the kindheartedness and justice made by usurper of the state power is without legitimacy;( 2) True kindness and morality doesn't need any form of showing off;( 3) all so- called morality and morality principles that go against the attributes of Da Tao which include unselfishness and justice,respect of life,equality among all human beings are non- legitimate and anti- morality. In real life,Zhuangzi was very brave to challenge the traditions, making all his effort in advocating ritual or etiquette to be coordinated with pristine nature of Tao. His behavior toward his wife's death,singing and beating time on a basin around his wife's corpse,and his positive humorous and funny attitudes toward his own funeral,even in nowadays,still scandalize the public.
