Features: "The Zhuangzi" (also known as the "Nanhua Jing") is the work of the famous thinker of the Warring States period, Zhuang Zhou, a master of the Taoist school, and his followers. The book is currently preserved in three parts, divided into the Inner Chapters, the Outer Chapters, and the Miscellaneous Chapters. The Inner Chapters consist of 7 chapters, the Outer Chapters have 15 chapters, and the Miscellaneous Chapters contain 11 chapters. Generally, it is believed that the Inner Chapters were written by Zhuang Zhou himself, are relatively unified and coherent, and have a consistent style. The Outer Chapters and Miscellaneous Chapters are mainly the works of Zhuang Zhou's followers, and also include individual chapters from other schools of thought, making their ideological content somewhat diverse and their style not entirely consistent.
