This article, depending on the analyses of the materials about life’s dilemmas, tries to figure out the philosophy of living in Chuang-tzu. First, the article explains man’s living situation revealed in Chuang-tzu through its descriptions about man’s dilemmas in life. Furthermore, through the analyses of those dilemmas, we could discover that the dilemmas mentioned in Chuang-tzu include not only moral ones but more the crucial living ones, especially those about to be or not to be. In the third part, the article would discuss the solutions indicated in Chuang-tzu, which could be divided into two parts. One is the reflection about common reactions, and the other is the discussion about the ideal way in solution and the value implied in it. At last, the article would try to make a conclusion about Chuang-tzu’s wisdom in dealing with life’s dilemmas.
