ABSTRACT
Care for life Faced with the increasing emphasis on technical action and the accelerating drive towards completion (cheng) in the Warring States period, Zhuangzi insists that a non-technical way of action is open to human beings. This non-technical way of action is not aimed at completion but carried by the ceaseless flow of life (sheng), so that it nourishes life or cares for life (yangsheng ) in its very movement and avoids the decline of humanity into the world of man (ren).
