ancient
Xunzi, Warring States Period: Zhuangzi was blinded to heaven and did not know people. (Xunzi · Jiebi)

Good belongs to the book leaves the words, indicates the kind of affairs, uses plagiarism to peel off Confucianism, ink, although the study of the world can not be self-understanding.
Tang Bai Juyi: Zhuang Sheng Qi things are the same, and my Tao is different. So the nature of the free is consistent, Luan and Phoenix are better than snake insects. (reading Zhuangzi)
Wang Anshi, Northern Song Dynasty: Yan new poems of Qing Dynasty were written from the Mongolian and chanted as if they were in this hall. Officials have no farmland and a strong sense of time, and the people have the style of later generations of Zhuang Zhou Dynasty. I knew the leisure wood rope in the court, and I was sitting in the distance to think about the jade trees. When to get, I will be a Weng by pitching the dust. (the name of "the Qingyan Hall of Mengcheng")
Ming Xu Wei: Zhuangzhou is light of life and death, and it is incomparable in ancient times. What is the number theory and the life of death is the most important thing? But the one who knows nothing is to see the time. No name, no name, there are high officials in this. (reading Zhuangzi)
modern
Lu Xun: his works are full of the different styles and manners. You can't do it first in late Zhou Dynasty. (outline of the history of Chinese Literature)
Guo Moruo: almost every Chinese literature history since Qin and Han Dynasties was developed under his influence: the thinkers and writers are unique among ancient philosophers in China. (Lu Xun and Zhuangzi)
Wen Yiduo: the Chinese culture always has the brand of Zhuangzi.
Li Zehou: the appearance of Chinese literati is Confucianism, but the inner part is Zhuangzi forever.
Huwenying: Zhuangzi has a very cold eye and the hottest heart. Cold eyes, so whether it is not: heart and intestine hot, so feeling all over the world. Although knowing is useless, but not forgetting, it is a warm heart hanging in the end: Although we can not forget feelings, but do not start at all, it is cold-looking. (Zhuangzi sees only)
Wang Meng: Zhuangzi is a very special and distinctive philosopher, and he is the only one in the world. His biggest feature is to turn very deep thought into literature, into art, into myth, fable, story and legend. His words on philosophical issues are all languously, metaphorically exquisite, rhetoric gorgeous, broad style, angular, and wonderful. You feel like you are relish and relaxed. This makes the deep philosophy literary and interesting.
