Abstract

Though the aesthetic studies of Chuang-tzu in the last 100 years had achieved a lot,some warps also existed in the studies.The warps mainly focus on the fact that Chuang-tzu is too often being analyzed in the framework of western aesthetics.However,Chuang-tzu's aesthetics is some kind of aesthetic spirit,to a great extent,it is the possibility for Chuang-tzu's thoughts to convert into beauty and art.Ontology can't be used to describe Chuang-tzu since the logistic characteristic of ontology is inconsistent with Chuang-tzu's circularity.Chuang-tzu seeks for the liberty of soul,which differs from westerners' seeking after the liberty of personal volition.Compared with the mysterious feature of Chuang-tzu,the attempts to give a clear explanation to Chuang-tzu only appeared with limited success.
