ABSTRACT
With unrestrained literary style, grandeur images, strange and rich imagination and fantastic aesthetic mood, Chuang Tzu's words give people extraordinary and noble feelings. As the famous work of Chuang Tzu, the Seal of Virtue Complete discusses people’s spirit world. It describes a group of people who are not good-looking and even physical disabled, but why Chuang Tzu thinks they are beautiful? In this lecture, prof. Chen will deeply interpret the Seal of Virtue Complete and Chuang Tzu’s moral value.
