    "The positive psychological movement has played a more and more important  role in the stage of psychology. Positive psychology emphasizes subject  well-being and has three pillars: positive emotion, positive traits,  and positive institutions. Chuang-tze was a notable thinker in the  history of ancient China. His life career and his world outlook provide  an important cue to the understanding of positive psychology. The  unexhausted life force and lofty state of spirit in his thought strongly  influence and attract people of later generation. Moreover, his  brilliant exposition about value and value judgment is the vital source  for us to excavate his theory of value. By means of his understanding of  “Tao”, Chuang-tze put his concept into the field of value, in this way  form his theory of value with the characteristic of relativism.  Chuang-tze’s profound philosophy can be summarized in four phrases: “Tao  as the source of the world”, “uniformity of things”, “non-action in  face of nature” and “absolute freedom”. The ideal personality advocated  by Chuang-tze is that of a “real man” ——the surpassing integrity of  pure temperament and elevated spiritual delight untouched by the outside  distractions ——which is far beyond the usual concept of life and death  of this world. What is more, Chuang-tze referred some traits of real man  and also talked about some ways toward real man which is the same as  that of current positive psychology. Therefore, Chuang-tze can be  regarded as the earliest positive psychologist in ancient China."
