Zhuangzi`s views of life are ``the nature order``, ``Wandering in Absolute Freedom``. This dissertation focuses on Zhuangzi`s philosophy about ``water`` in order to adequately understand the three abstract concepts mentioned above. As ancient Chinese philosophers explained abstract ideas through specific images found in the natural world, Zhuangzi can be understood by focusing on his ideas of ``water`` on which his central ideas and attitudes were based. The nature order which is objective inevitability as the concept of the nature order. looks like flowing water which we cannot be against it. The attitude of Wandering in Absolute Freedom about reality is the political activity which was sought for through the transcendent meditation because this is the free movement which isn`t against the flow of water and wanders anywhere. The appearance of water continually flowing day and night is the sample of the idea which represents continuity and amorphia. Water is amorphia because it continues to flow so widely and endlessly. And it is quiet and clean because it doesn`t act by any awareness and will. Thus, water is the model which can specify the life of Wandering in Absolute Freedom of Zhuangzi who explained about the mind of wandering freely without being tied to space.
