On Zhuangzi's Thought on the Separation and Integration of Form and Spirit
The relationship between form and spirit in Zhuangzi's thought is not static:when Zhuangzi wanders in the ideal world,he emphasizes the distinction between form and spirit,pursuing absolute spiritual freedom after stripping the body;when he falls into the real world,he has to emphasize the combination of form and spirit,advocating the importance of both,and nurturing both form and spirit.This idea of separation and combination of form and spirit in Zhuangzi has had a widespread and profound impact on later scholars,Taoism,Buddhism,and so on.Carefully examining this proposition of Zhuangzi is not only conducive to a deeper understanding of Zhuangzi's thought,but also has a certain reference significance for today's real life.
