About this book
First published in 1889. This re-issues the second, revised edition of 1926.<br/>Chuang Tzu was to Lao Tzu, the author of Tao T? Ching, as Hui-neng, the sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism, was to Bodhidharma, and in some respects St.Paul to Jesus; he expanded the original teaching into a system and was thus the founder of Tao-ism. Whereas Lao Tzu was a contemporary of Confucius in the sixth century B.C, Chuang Tzu lived over two hundred years later. He was one of the greatest minds produced by China; philosopher, metaphysician, moralist and poet. It is impossible to understand the spiritual depth of the Tao T? Ching without the aid of Chuang Tzu.

About Unknown Author
Zhuang Zhou, commonly known as Zhuangzi (Chinese: 莊子; literally "Master Zhuang"; also rendered as Chuang Tzu), was an influential Chinese philosopher who lived around the 4th century BC during the Warring States period, a period corresponding to the summit of Chinese philosophy, the Hundred Schools of Thought. He is credited with writing—in part or in whole—a work known by his name, the *Zhuangzi*, which is one of the foundational texts of Taoism. **Source**: [Zhuang Zhou](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhuang_Zhou) on Wikipedia.
