ter 1 builds up an establishment for Zhuang Zi's advancement of getting one with "the Great Way" – to know one's place in nature. In Chapter 17, Zhuang Zi shows that once one understands its place in nature, at that point it can step into understanding and getting one with "the Great Way". In this section, there is a fall flood, and the Yellow River colossally floods. Watching this, the Lord of the River is euphoric and imagines that "the magnificence on the planet had a place with only him" (Chapter 17). Nonetheless, when the flood arrived at the North Sea, the Lord of the River understood that he was immaterial as far as significance contrasted with the North Sea. The North Sea at that point reacts to the Lord of the River by saying "… understand your very own triviality. Starting now and into the foreseeable future it will be conceivable to converse with you about the Great Way" (Chapter 17). The North Sea is represented as a figure who appears to comprehend the Great Way. He holds an incredibly unassuming position on his unfathomability as he analyzes himself to "somewhat stone" (Chapter 17) or an "a little tree [sitting] on a tremendous mountain" (Chapter 17). The North Sea advances by saying that "There is no closure to the weighing of things, no stop to time, no consistency… , no fixed standard to starting and end" (Chapter 17).

Be that as it may, in Chapter 17, in contrast to Chapter 1, Zhuang Zi further clarifies his position by saying that one must perceive its place in nature so as to follow "the Great Way". The Lord of the River, subsequent to conversing with the North Sea, comprehend that he should be content with what nature has made him to be. The Lord of the River at that point asks "what should I do and what should I not do?" (Chapter 17). The North Sea at that point answers with numerous answers, which summarizes to just after the course of the suddenness of nature. This exemplification of the waterways appeared in Chapter 17 fortifies the relativism of the qualities saw by each being. In each and every circumstance, one's observation and comprehension of the qualities are largely legitimate, nonetheless, is restricted to that particular setting. Along these lines, Zhuang Zi states that there can be no all inclusive standard that everybody can comprehend. What's more, since one's view of the world is so constrained, one is unequipped for really understanding unquestionably the greatest and littlest. Along these lines, since we can't comprehend, the main arrangement is to follow "the Great Way", which is to allow everything to look for and seek after the spontane
