        Library of Chinese Classics :Zhuang Zi

        by Qin Xuqing

        "Zhuangzi", also known as "South China Scriptures," is one of the Taoist classics by the philosopher Zhuang Zi of the Warring States Period and its later studies. The book includes 7 articles, 15 articles, 11 articles, a total of 33 articles. In this book, Chuang Tzu inherited and developed Lao Tzu's view of "nature of Taoism". Taking "Tao" as the origin of the world, Zhuangzi considered that "Tao" is self-contained and eternal. The difference between things is only relative. In conformity with this concept of cosmology, Zhuangzi advocates the concept of "nature inaction" and advocates the maintenance of individual physical and psychological freedom and the pursuit of a spirit of unrestrained and harmonious man and nature. This book takes Guo Qingfan's Zhuangzi Collection as the base and translates it. The English translation draws on the existing English translations and selection books. It is the current English version of Zhuangzi.

        Teenagers Reading Chinese Philosophy

        by Zhang Jiahua

        In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of ancient China, the philosophical views of various schools met and contended, arousing a more brilliant spark of wisdom. The epic and unprecedented movement in the academy world was called the "Contention of a Hundred Schools of Thought." Scholars of various schools have written their wisdom achievements that they strove to secure through lifetime hard work into their own academic works, leaving us with a timeless ideological wealth that can teach us morals and enlighten our wisdom.   With simple and fluent texts and concise interpretation, Teenagers Reading Chinese Philosophy systematically introduces the essence of the philosophical thoughts of philosophers including Confucius, Mencius, Mozi, Laozi, Zhuangzi, Xun Kuang, and Han Feizi. As an enlightening book of Chinese philosophy designed for children, it eliminates the barriers to reading classical Chinese in the pre-Qin period, and makes the "abstruse and mysterious" philosophy easy for children to understand.

        Dialoge zwischen Unsterblichen, Lebendigen und Toten

        by Hans Magnus Enzensberger

        Der berühmte Philosoph Zhuangzi streitet sich mit einem Mann, der seit 500 Jahren tot ist. Diderot empfängt einen aufdringlichen Reporter aus dem 20. Jahrhundert zum Interview. Ein gealterter Anarchist erklärt einem enttäuschten Jünger, woran die Revolution gescheitert ist. Weimarer Zeitgenossen Goethes fallen in einer Fernseh-Talkshow über den Olympier her und merken nicht, wie sie sich dabei blamieren. Der gezielte Anachronismus dient Enzensberger als Falle, in die er den Zeitgeist zu locken sucht.Enzensberger greift mit diesen Dialogen die Form der antiken Götter- und Totengespräche wieder auf und bringt damit ein menschliches Organ auf die Bühne zurück, das im Regietheater der Gegenwart in Vergessenheit geraten ist: das Gehirn. Spielend nehmen es die Tragikomödien der Intelligenz mit denen der Körper auf. Wer am Ende recht hat, ist keineswegs ausgemacht. Es wird bis zur letzten Runde gekämpft, zum Beispiel in einem malaiischen Militärcamp, wo ein betrügerischer Banker mit einem gestrandeten Exterroristen hadert. Ihr Streit kulminiert in einem musikalischen Duett, bei dem sich zeigt, daß der Jargon des Brokers und die Parolen des Extremismus ebenso schrill wie nahtlos ineinander übergehen.

        THE DAO OF TCM: WHEN LAOZI AND ZHUANGZI MEET HUANGDI NEIJING

        by Tsai Biming

        Many people in Europe and America have long been familiar with the ancient Chinese sage Laozi and the philosophy of the Dao De Jing. Even more of us have experienced the benefits of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) through herbal treatment, acupuncture, traditional massage, and more. But how many know that when Daoist philosophy and the ancient science of traditional medicine come together, they form a powerful, energizing formula for holistic living?   Tsai Biming’s four-part treatise on the power of Daoist thought and TCM puts us in direct conversation with ancient sages, as Tsai unravels the rich metaphors of the Dao De Jing and the Zhuangzi and illuminates their relevance to contemporary life. Why do people today expend all our energy on achieving success, yet never seem to find satisfaction? Why do we know so much about advancement, yet nothing about happiness?   Tsai’s four-part book provides inspiring answers to questions like these. Part I examines the nature of ambition, finding guidelines in Daoist texts for those of us looking to keep both our dreams and our bodies healthy. Parts II and III lay out the many differences between mainstream values and the values of traditional Chinese medicine and life philosophy, while Part IV gives us a key to navigating those discrepancies by illuminating “the use of uselessness”, the secret at the heart of Daoism.   A long-time adherent of traditional Chinese medicine, Professor Tsai Biming brings her expertise in Chinese philosophy to bear in a way that reveals the undying relevance of ancient texts as well as the true coherence between Daoism and traditional medicine.
