- W2364336140 abstract "Zhuang Zi regarded all things that ordinary people thought to be general as little use; the things of extraordinary use, which included a spiritual guide to leading people onto Great Way or helping them live out a life in peace, as use. What Zhuang Zi tried to do is not to seek fame and game but to help them cultivate mind and improve character. His lifelong goal was to search for use. He proposed the concept of the use of the useless to live through a period of turmoil: people ought to stand aloof from being used by the tyrannical regime, while making great of cultivating original nature. Pretending to be worthless, noncommittal, adaptable to circumstances is the motto Zhuang Zi suggested that people follow in troubled times. It is evident that Zhuang Zi, a cynical intellectual, encouraged unfortunate people to live on to the end, cherishing the shreds of their traditional dignity under the oppressive regime. It is an alternative measure to go through turbulent days with a caveat that the motto of the use of the useless should only be viewed as a matter of practical expediency. " @default.
