The thinking on qZhiq in Zhuangzi

Zhuangzi is a philosopher who consciously ponders on "Zhi" in the Pre-Qin Dynasty.It constitutes an important part of Zhuangzi's philosophy and becomes a significant way to understand Zhuangzi.This essay is based on two propositions-"Zhi Wei Nie" and "Yi Zhi Wei Shi" to discuss "Zhi".As far as Zhuangzi is concerned, "Zhi" is an instinctive ability but we cannot always conform to "Tian", so "Zhi" becomes a "weapon" that we use to struggle with each other due to our selfish motives.This is the meaning of "Zhi Wei Nie".On the contrary, "Yi Zhi Wei Shi" is a right living way which eliminates egoism, utilitarianism and instrumentality.As a consequence, "Zhi" is a basis on which human is in harmony with the heaven (tian) and deserves the title "Tian yu".
