博士 === 國立成功大學 === 中國文學系碩博士班 === 97 === This thesis the ways in which the Chuang Tzu Commentary transforms the content of the original Chuang Tzu and the thought processes involved in this transformation, from the point of view of body-effort. Moreover, I discusses the development and usage of the terms hsingfen, hsin, chibing and ideal state, in order to analyze the implications of Guo Shiang's views of the body. I focus on a comparison of the two texts and thereby compare the two texts' approaches to body-effort, and also by analysing the ways in which these texts view "the meaning of the body". In this comparison, the Chuang Tzu forms the standard for the comparison, while the hermeneutic reconstruction achieved by Guo Shiang also arises from a comparison with the original classic text. Thus, the change in attitude expressed in the Chuang Tzu Commentary can also be explicated by this research.
