Zhuang Tzu and the Philosophy of Daoism
Zhuang Tzu, a significant figure in Chinese philosophy, lived during the warring states period and rejected a life in government despite being well-respected. His book, the Zhuang Tzu, is considered a fundamental part of Daoism, along with the Dao Te Jing. Zhuang Tzu's work is divided into inner, outer, and mixed chapters, with the inner chapters specifically credited to him. The Zhuang Tzu is a collection of stories and dialogues that challenge conventional thinking, exemplified by his verbal sparring with Huixi and his contempt for government.
