碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 中國文學系 === 104 === In the mid-late Ming Dynasty, a Chinese thinker named Li Zhi who annotated Chinese traditional text, Laozi, to speak his own opinions of political issues and metaphysical ontology. Though his works, we discover different methods in the academic research of Li Zhi. Lots of scholars focus his woks on Confucianism and Buddhism according to his life experiences. Meanwhile, we found that he were also concerned about Taoism as the bridge to connect Confucianism and Buddhism. In this research, we would like to open up the meanings of Taoism which influence Li Zhi’s mind in order to realize what he did and what he wanted to say. And we can not only know the background of the social atmosphere, but also understand his physicality and mentality in the mid-late Ming Dynasty.
