Zhuangzi, also known as Nanhuajing, is a summary of Taoist thought by Zhuangzi and his later scholars in the middle and late Warring States Period. Zhuangzi also deeply criticized instrumental rationality. "Zhuangzi" further puts forward the viewpoint of "forgetting words with pride". After the Han Dynasty, Zhuangzi was honored as a real person in the south of the Yangtze River, so Zhuangzi was also called a classic in the south of the Yangtze River. His books, Laozi and Zhouyi are called "San Xuan".
Zhuangzi mainly embodies Zhuangzi's critical philosophy, art, aesthetics and so on. Its content is rich and profound, involving philosophy, life, politics, society, art, world outlook and many other aspects.

Content:
Zhuangzi explicitly denied the social and political system of ethics and false cultural life, advocated a different approach from Confucian social philosophy in politics, directly cut into the principle of the operation of heaven, and developed a Taoist philosophy with natural meaning, generative meaning and neutral meaning as the main points. The operation of heaven has its natural truth, and the philosophy of Tao is to explain the connotation of this truth, thus putting forward a lively and comfortable universe.
Taoist philosophy has developed a completely different social philosophy from Confucianism through its infinite and persistent understanding of the operation of the universe. Society is only the object of one party, and people living in it should have their own freedom of independence and self-existence, not bound by any ideology.
