Abstract

In this paper, when educating modern international Chinese culture, the author observes, analyzes and interprets the fables in Zhuangzi from the perspective of culture and education. In particular, it was possible to increase the usability of allegoric tales by intensively examining the “Pojeong Haewoo”. Through a series of research processes, it showed the usefulness and scope of use of allegoric tales of Zhuangzi in Chinese culture education, and it is meaningful in that it promotes Chinese culture education in the form of acquisition through learners' learning rather than memorization. In addition, the purpose of this paper is to help expand the educational fields and methods that can be developed in Chinese cultural education in a beneficial direction. Starting from the suggestion of the possibility and necessity of using the allegoric tales of Zhuangzi in Chinese culture education, this researcher suggested the title of the allegoric tales that “Pojeong Hae Hae-woo (Pojeong is skillful in hae-woo)”by substituting other interpretations applicable to the character “Hae(解)”. But the lessons derived from the allegoric tales are different according to cultural interpretations such as “butcher” or “cook”. In addition, by selecting the literary characteristic of “ambiguity” of the Zhuangzi’s allegoric tales culture, this researcher observed it through the ‘diversity of cultural domains to which the allegoric tales can be applied’ and the ‘fictionality just as the truth of the allegoric tales’. In the modern practice of the allegoric tales of Zhuangzi, this researcher could see that the negative colors were reduced by substituting the keyword of the era of “self-reliance” to the era of Pojeong and re-observing it. In addition, this researcher suggested how to interpret “catch” and “caught” in modern society through “Pojeong catches cows”. In addition, this researcher tried to use it as a corresponding educational method through “Wordless teaching(Buleonjigyo)” and “Things without thickness enter into gaps(以无厚入有间)”. This study presented educational prospects in four stages, and in conclusion, it is a process of realizing that one can broaden the view of life through learning about the Zhuangzi culture and that the quality of life is completed according to one's own capabilities. Lastly, this researcher hopes that the learners would be able to “walk freely without any restraints” through Chinese culture education, and looks forward to follow-up research.
