1.Influence:At the same time, The English writer Oscar Wilde was also influenced by Zhuangzi's thoughts. Wilde interpreted the philosophical idea of wu wei within Chuang Tzu, and he appropriated Chinese wisdom to develop his passive activism in the 1890s, which aimed to reform Victorian political, social, and cultural institutions through “doing nothing.”[1]

2.Education Zhuangzi's thoughts can also be brought into play in education, Chuang Tzu was the co- founder and one of the main representative figures of Pre-Qin Taoism philosophy and nature education, which means he insists people should follow the way to freedom and natural life.For Chuang Tzu, the material nature is the origin and only source of Tao. So one should yield his own nature to the Tao of the material nature. [2]

3.Chuang Tzu's philosophical thoughts Freedom is almost the most important philosophical thought of Chuang Tzu, freedom means to transcend the limits of nature and society, and it is a kind of inner freedom, mostly, it is spiritual.[3] [3]Reference: Shujuan Yu & Yi Sun (2020) Nature and education in Eastern contexts: the thought on nature education of China’s Pre-Qin Taoist Chuang Tzu, Paedagogica Historica, 56:1-2, 9-21, DOI:10.1080/00309230.2019.1622577

4.Transformation In Chuang Tzu's dream，He turned into a butterfly. One does not awake from this dream to recover one’s sense of sub- objective consciousness. To be precise, human subjective consciousness is unhinged here.[4] This has a lot to do with Zhuangzi's idealism.
