Abstract

The life-style and life realm freely and unfetteredly Wandering put forward by Zhuang Zi also becomes the destination of Guo Xiangs philosophy of life. Starting out from the theory of life, an ontology, Guo Xiang thought that the best way of life is pursuing the life which accords with and goes well with the true nature of the subject and the ideal realm of life is pursuing a free and unfettered realm in the present world. The theory of suiting ones nature and being free and unfettered evinced the highest personal consciousness and helped settle down disorder and active feelings of life, so people in Wei and Jin Dynasty in the troubled times thereupon could reach the realm that each gets his due, be pleased with himself, acts in his own way and thinks in his own way, being satisfied with the suffered and reaching the realm of being free and unfettered.
