As a famous thinker in the pre-Qin period,Zhuangzi's influence has remained enduringly strong since he was rediscovered by the scholars in the Wei and Jin dynasties.His thought is charac-terized by a strong advocacy of the effort to experience"Dao",poetic expressions,metaphorical nuances,and concreteness in the use of language,suggesting that Zhuangzi's thought can be psycho-logically interpreted.Essentially,Zhuangzi's psychology is an"experiential psychology of freedom".It takes spiritual freedom as its content,and believes that one can achieve an elevation of spiritual realm and a state of mind and body with wisdom and heartless feeling based on selfless life experience such as Xinzhai 心斋(fasting the mind)and Zuowang 坐忘(sitting and forgetting).As a complete system,Zhuangzi's psychology is characterized by concrete thinking based on concrete concepts.It is a typical representative of experiential psychology and will play an important role in the future development of psychology.
