The versions contained in The Human World in Chuang Tzu and Wei Zi in the Analects of Confucius are different,and the former has stronger characteristics of Chu(楚)humanistic law.The key ideological difference between the two texts is that"the next life cannot be expected,and the past life cannot be pursued"and"the past cannot be consulted,and the coming can still be pursued".The Human World in Chuang Tzu and similar texts that appear in Chu(楚)literature belong to the tradition of"unwaitable"in the future,and the object of reference is specific to the"world"of the"human world".Wei Zi in the Analects of Confucius has been transformed,and together with Han(汉)literature,it belongs to the tradition of"still traceable"in the future.With"Jie Yu's singing"as the main content,the story of Chukuang Jie Yu sang to Confucius,experienced the literary evolution path of"Chu(楚)literature"→"The Human World in Chuang Tzu"→"Wei Zi in the Analects of Confucius".
