Abstract: This article is based on the analysis of Zhuangzi,regarding life and death as“one thing”or“letting it go”;these two opposite propositions are the starting points,aiming to illustrate the idea of life.In the view of Zhuangzi,everyone's life experiences make up a center circle of life philosophy of consciousness of "Inaction".Life is a journey,it starts from the first day you came to the world,and restarts at the end of life;death and life are an entirety.We have no choice but to let it go,which is a path to continue the life and realize the value of nature,and the ultimate aim is to break the death to achieve the Taoism and the real freedom of spirits beyond the self realization.

Key words: life and death, fate, nature, freedom of spirits
