  1. about Zhuangzi

    GOOWDAY posted a topic in Zhuangzi

    about Zhuangzi When I studied Taoist thoughts,I researched some books of pre-qin and some lost articles of Zhuangzi ,Then I found that Zhuang zhou was working in the Chu ζ₯š state over 13 years,It's most likely from 346bc to 332bc,Zhuang zhou was working as a officer name Da Gong 倧公 ,Which job is responsbility for collectting people's words and views in the states. During that time two important wars was happened,One is Chu state vs Wei 魏 state in 343bc-340bc,The other one is Chu state vs Yue 袊 state in 334bc-340bc,Both of them are Taoist style war,Two wars made a lot of effects to the waring states. The war of Chu vs Wei involved with another taoist man Sun Bin whose honourable name is Sunzi of Qi.Normally this war doesn't look like a war,Because Chu state didn't send their army to fight with Wei state.But it did include all the elements of war,And it is the supreme art of the war, so call "the win without fighting",or " subdue the enemy without fighting" . The anther war of Chu vs Yue was between 334bc-331bc,With "the use of useless",Zhuang zhou helped king wei of Chu ζ₯šε¨ηŽ‹ defeaded the king of Yue and taken away most of land from Yue state . The book of Zhuangzi recoded this two wars in an eerie way,Zhuang zhou involved both of this two wars. I just finished writing a book about the war of Chu vs Wei in chinese and in taoist style, It's crazy. What do you think about Zhuangzi?
