没有什么创造了世界，世界背后也没有什么；每个事物自己变化，当它活出自己的本性时就是圆满的。

《庄子》的编订者与注释者：事物背后既没有造物主，也没有无——每一事物都“自化”，并在自己的本性中得以圆满。

约300年庄子注
郭象的33篇《庄子》版本——今天仍在通行阅读的那一种——并附注释：万物都是“自己如此”。

立场

Guo’s 33-chapter edition of the Zhuangzi is the one read today. His commentary makes it a philosophy of self-so-ness (ziran): there is no creator, and being cannot come from non-being, so each thing transforms itself (duhua) – against Wang Bi’s non-being as root. Each thing has its own nature and share; the great bird and the little dove are equally free when each follows its nature. The sage need not flee the world; he can govern with a free mind. Modern critics see this as justifying the social order. How much he owes to Xiang Xiu is disputed; many scholars think he used Xiang’s work and went beyond it.

生平与背景

Guo Xiang, born probably c. 252 in the region of Luoyang, was famed for his brilliant conversation. Having at first declined office, he later rose to high rank under Sima Yue, Prince of Donghai, during the civil wars of the late Western Jin; contemporaries criticised his use of power. He died in 312. Ancient sources charged him with taking over an earlier Zhuangzi commentary by Xiang Xiu.
