This paper discusses changes from the Zhuangzi to the Laozi Middle Scripture in their notions of "Body" and "dialogue,"considered as central to the concern of Daoist science, philosophy and religion. Daoist wisdom is normally expressed in the forms of metaphors, narratives and dialogues, instead of using explicit, direct and abstract concepts, argumentations and description. Among the Zhuangzi's three types of discourse, the Chong Yan, which normally takes dialogue as its form of presentation, and its relation with the unfolding of bodily mystery, will constitute the first part of the paper. Then, we will move to the Laozi Middle Scripture, where the method of bodily meditation takes the form of different types of dialogue with different divinities inside different parts of human body, as well as outside of it, and taking this method as a kind of piecemeal self-integration spirituality. At the conclusions, we will mark the continuity and difference between these two Daoist discourses.
