"Zhuangzi" is divided into three parts: internal chapters, external chapters, and miscellaneous chapters. It originally had fifty-two chapters, of which thirty-three are now extant, and more than 200 small and large fables. Among them, there are seven inner chapters, which are the core of Zhuangzi's thoughts; fifteen outer chapters; and eleven miscellaneous chapters. This book is all-encompassing, with detailed discussions on the avenues of the universe, the relationship between man and nature, the value of life, moral standards, etc. The content is extensive but not cluttered, and it focuses on a set of philosophical perspectives to explain nature, life, politics and society from beginning to end. As an important representative of Taoism, Zhuangzi's thoughts and Laozi's thoughts are collectively called "Laozi and Zhuangzi's thoughts". Together with Confucianism and Mohism, it formed a tripartite force and influenced Chinese culture for more than two thousand years.
