Try to Understand Zhuangzi by Reading through Translations
Zhuangzi (approxi. 369-286 BC), from the State of Song in the Warring States Period, one of the most important masters in the Pre-Qin period. He despised wealth, power and fame, sought after unrestrained spiritual freedom. He has been regarded as a representative of Taoism.
Getting to know Zhuangzi is an important part of China studies. Since he has been widely translated, we provide three versions of translation—one by James Legge, a Scottish Sinologist (1815-1897), one by a contemporary Nina Correa and the third version by Lin Yutang (1895-1976), a most influential Chinese bi-lingual writer.
The composer of this reading material also provides “Pinyin” of Zhuangzi’s articles and some notes for understanding. The composer hopes by reading through translations and the notes, the reader could get deeper into the thoughts of Zhuangzi.
