The prevalent teaching of Chinese classical texts in college general education recently becomes Taiwanese scholars' primary concern. This article aims to elucidate Lao-zi's and Zhuang-zi's notable and creative thoughts in Pre-Qin period through a Taoist perspective. Lao-zi's thought of ”governing-by-noninterference” and ”being-natural” as well as Zhuang-zi's notion of ”Oneness” and ”leisure-without-restraint” present an ideal state of life-a perpetual and persistent philosophy-which endows all-time readers with different understandings and perceptions of their spiritual world.
As to the teaching method, first of all, a teacher-student corporate participating (for example, drama performance) in the interpretation of Chinese classical texts should be highlighted. They can demonstrate contemporary cultural value and ideation by these classical texts. Then, student can experience effort or happiness and further cultivate an insight into their life experience, representing the world of Chinese classical texts through the role-playing in a
theatrical performance. Analyzing modern cultural mode, we can find that the social reality is dominated by a rising of social phenomena, including a trend of popular culture resulting from fashionable commodity, a virtual reality circumstance, and a disorienting, epicurean, yet diversified culture.
Seen in Lao-zi's and Zhuang-zi's light, we can realize that their thinking modes and fables implicate an observation of a daily life reality. If we analyze these phenomena with Lao-zi's and Zhuang-zi's viewpoint, we can discern the ambivalence and conflict in our daily life and social reality. Their thoughts actually provide a retrospective thinking of the ambiguity and confusion in our society and life. Most important, they pacify the disturbance and perplexity of our mental mind.
