Zhuang Zi is a Chinese classic which contains a large quantity of antonyms. The antonymous relation in the work presents itself in four formats: A+B-, antonymous couplet, antonymous parallelism, and contextual antonymous relation. A summingup of these antonymous formats paves the way for exploration of attributive reasons of formation and determination of antonyms.
