Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to deeply analyze the unique modes of speech adopted by Zhuangzi, a Chinese philosopher in pre-Qin period, and the profound philosophical implications of these modes of speech. With his unique metaphors, fables, exaggerations and dialogues, Zhuangzi skillfully integrates abstract philosophical thoughts into vivid images and plots, making these thoughts more vivid and easy to understand, and at the same time bringing readers speculation and enlightenment. Through an in-depth analysis of Zhuangzi's texts, this study will reveal how his way of speaking helps to convey his unique views on nature, life, and the world. In the second chapter, we will examine Zhuangzi's unique way of speaking in detail. He often uses metaphors to connect abstract concepts to everyday life. For example, he uses the metaphor of the butterfly dream to express the illusory and impermanence of life. His fables often use metaphors such as animals and natural phenomena to show complex philosophical thoughts through vivid images. In addition, Zhuangzi highlights the limitations and illusory nature of the real world through exaggeration, thus triggering the reflection on authenticity. Through opposition and dialogue, he presents the diversity of things and urges people to think about problems from different angles. The third chapter will deeply explore Zhuangzi's core philosophical thoughts. He put forward the concept of free inaction, advocated to put down the utilitarian mentality, conform to nature, in order to achieve inner peace and freedom. In addition, Zhuangzi's concept of relative has an important expression in his works, he stressed that people's ideas vary according to their circumstances, so there is no absolute standard. His view of change and illusion emphasizes the fluidity and impermanence of things and reminds people to go beyond the surface phenomenon to find the essence. The fourth chapter will explore the relationship between Zhuangzi's way of speaking and the meaning it conveys. We will delve into how his way of speaking reinforces the expression of his core ideas and leads the reader to think deeply on multiple levels. By combining philosophical ideas with vivid metaphors, Zhuangzi makes abstract concepts more approachable and helps readers understand them in depth. Chapter Five will study how Zhuangzi's thought influenced the later generations. His unique way of speaking and core philosophical views have had a profound impact on later philosophers and thinkers. His relative concept is still enlightening in modern philosophy and guides us to examine the rationality of different views. To sum up, this paper reveals Zhuangzi's unique views on nature, life and the world through in-depth analysis of his unique ways of speaking and philosophical implications. Zhuangzi's way of speaking not only injected vitality into ancient philosophy, but also has important value in contemporary thinking, guiding us to think about the profound philosophical questions about man and nature, life and the universe.
