Cartoonist Tsai Chih-chung, Inventec Corporation Vice Chairman Simon Wen, and creative talent Fishman joined forces to announce their cross-industry initiative yesterday. For the first time, they will transform Tsai Chih-chung's comic works, such as "Zhuangzi," into animated series, e-books, and other products that blend culture and technology, aiming to enter the international cultural and creative market. The broadcast rights for the "Zhuangzi" animation on terrestrial television in Taiwan have been acquired by PTS, which will select thirty episodes to air on its channel starting in February next year. In mainland China, the series will subsequently be broadcast on television stations in Shanghai and Suzhou. The DVD is scheduled for release in December and has already been translated into Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and English, with the goal of promoting it across the Greater China region and entering the international market. Additionally, VCDs and digital audio-visual products like智库 e-books will be published. Zhuangzi's Daoist teachings—a three-thousand-year-old Chinese spiritual nourishment to help cleanse your soul. "Shan Mu" elaborates in detail on the way to completely avoid calamities. "Tian Zi Fang" addresses the phenomenon of worldly people who are eager to learn the Dao but fail to grasp its essence, often leading them astray. "Zhi Bei You" reveals the absolute emptiness and mysterious nature of the "Dao" itself, pointing out that the Dao is born from nothingness and resides in emptiness. "Geng Sang Chu" expounds on the issue of "nurturing the heart," emphasizing the need to rid oneself of all worldly emotions that disturb and bind the human heart, in order to preserve or return to a pure and natural本性. "Xu Wu Gui" focuses on the issue of dispelling confusion to comprehend the Dao. "Ze Yang" revolves around the essence of the "Dao." "Wai Wu" explains that only those who do not seek external things can freely roam the world. "Yu Yan" provides a detailed explanation to clarify the stylistic conventions of the book "Zhuangzi," which is why many predecessors regarded it as the preface and example for the entire work. "Rang Wang" embodies the philosophy of finding contentment in poverty and delighting in the Dao, as well as the spiritual cultivation realm of selflessness. However, it is difficult to determine whether this chapter was actually written by Zhuangzi. "Dao Zhi" exposes how fame, wealth, and status harm human natural本性 and reveals the hypocrisy of Confucian loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness. "Shuo Jian" advises rulers to abandon frivolous pursuits and instead focus on the well-being of the nation and its people. "Yu Fu" uses the words of an old fisherman to criticize Confucius's emphasis on human relations and rituals, promoting the idea of "following nature and valuing authenticity." "Lie Yu Kou" points out that understanding life and destiny is the true way to preserve one's life.
