Abstract

Zhaungzi's philosophy of aesthetics is closely linked to his life.Zhuangzi advocates the carefree excursion of the main body's spirit.Accordingly,Zhuangzi's aesthetics is one kind of life boundary aesthetics,it turns over to the subject of the people's freedom and liberation.In the pursuit of Zhuangzi's life aesthetics,it reflects the rich meaning of people who study metaphysics,such as the natural right of longing,the pursuit of freedom,the aesthetic life and the pouring of the individual consciousness and so on.These reflections are a sense of enlightenment in the human studies lacking Chinese context.Because,in terms of substance,Chinese linguistic environment's initiation is based on man-setting as the ultimate object,we may draw such conclusion,after defining clearly in initiation words,that the energetic special characteristics and the values which Zhuangzi's aesthetics displays manifest the initiation at least in the following four aspects: critique and suspicion spirit;art of life;returning to nature and enjoying lonely.
