answers2: I don't know what you mean important. <br>

Zhuangzi was very influential on Chinese tradition and a more
articulate and engaging Daoist philosopher who used allegory and
sometimes direct treatise in his Inner Chapters. He is often called an
anti-intellectual, skeptic, and quietist, but I think his real point
was a reflection on the human condition... worldly concerns mean
little compaired to the universal cosmological principle of fluid,
ever-changing, unity. He understood not to worry about what is outside
of the human sphere of knowledge and power. But, I do not think
Zhuangzi himself would say his philosophy was 'important.' <br>
<br>
I don't know how he 'spread' his philosophy. He had followers who
obviously wrote down what he said... and more after his death who
attempted to continue his ideas. But whenever he described an
enlightened teacher it was usually the least educated and least
articulate. <br>
<br>
Zhuangzi is really good to read though, one of my favorite
philosophers of all time.
