庄子

庄子 appears in 75.故事新编：骷髅被复活后会感激庄子吗？ through [[QiSi|《起死》]], where [[LuXun|鲁迅]] turns the old skull-dialogue tradition into social satire. The episode’s Zhuangzi is not only a philosophical voice; he is also a cultivated traveler whose doctrine, status, horse, and official contacts let him escape trouble.

The source emphasizes the failure of abstract equalizing language when [[YangDa|杨大]] has no clothes, baggage, or livelihood. [[QiWuLun|《齐物论》]] becomes a practical test case: if “life and death are equal” or “this and that are both one right-and-wrong” helps the speaker evade responsibility, philosophy has slid toward Instrumental Belief Critique.
