《莊子》文句解讀不易，思想牽涉廣泛，解讀時容易落於片面，產生歧解。本文試圖從《荘子》原典中，推論出一個理解《荘子》思想較爲完整的基本架構，有助於掌握《荘子》思想體系之理路以及原典文獻之解讀。透過論證原典所呈現的幾個重要意涵，並將其間的關係組織起來，所得到的結論是：「《莊子》思想兼重道與世間。以道爲整個思想體系之核心，心是世間呈現與工夫修爲的中心（亦即思想體系中實踐部分的中心）。透過心，工夫的方向與目標是尋找道、指向道、體證道（亦即由心往道）。並且，心對於道的體證，亦透過心，落實於看世間、展現於世間以及應對世間。」簡言之，即「由心往道而應世間」。

Since Zhuangzi (莊子)involves wide contents of philosophy, it is not easy to interpret the texts and often leads to reading in fragments and misunderstanding. In this research, a more complete basic framework of Zhuangzi's Philosophy is argued on the basis of texts of Zhuangzi. It is helpful to grasp the thread of thought of Zhuangzi and to interpret texts. Through the connection of several viewpoints obtained from texts, it is found that: ”Both ”dao” (道) and ”xin” (心) are the important parts of Zhuangzi. ”Dao” is the kernel of the philosophy and ”xin” .is the center of practice. The direction to practice through ”xin” is toward ”dao” and then naturally behave in the world.” The whole frmework， in brief， is ”you-xin-wang-dao -er-ying-shi-jian” (由心往道應世間).
