It is the core issue of Zhuang-Zi's philosophy to resolve dilemmas in life and realize spiritual freedom. In face of the time-limited life, prejudice originating from attachment to the self prevents the spirit from being free. Thus Zhuang-Zi puts forward a life philosophy of adapting to the environment without losing oneself, "the outer world changes but the internal mind does not change with it." Through efforts of self-cultivation toward equanimity, he attempts to guide people to dissolve binary oppositions and eliminate the entanglement of objective knowledge and subjective affection with the mind of "evenness," thereby achieving absolute spiritual freedom or the status of "wandering in absolute freedom" in Zhuang-Zi's theory. Through endlessly spiritual improvement, people become able to travel around the world with their independent and broad minds. They will no longer be annoyed by the differences between life and death, gains and losses, and likes and dislikes but surpass plights of life with spiritual freedom.
