      Abstract: In the Zhuangzi, we find a philosophical view on human emotions expressed in an utterly metaphorical language. An analysis of this imagery shows that, on one hand, emotions are appreciated as natural expressions of the human heart and the vital forces. At the same time, emotions are conceived as a confinement or even lethal threat for the heart and the vital forces.

      Instead of dissolving this paradox, several metaphors of the Zhuangzi are pointing to a life-affirming way of handling it. They draw attention to the heart’s faculty of emptying itself from self-centered affairs and becoming aware of the great movements of Heaven and Earth.
