Features: The books here are something you must read at least once in your lifetime, whether you are ten, thirty, or seventy years old! A minimalist reading list of Chinese culture. From the vast collection of ancient classics, sixty masterpieces have been selected for the first time to present a comprehensive and lively portrayal of the style and appearance of Chinese culture over five thousand years. Renowned scholars from Taiwan review the classics with a 21st-century perspective, traversing time and space, guiding you into the "unfenced museum of Chinese culture." The Treasury of Chinese Classics Through the Ages is accompanied by the original texts or essential excerpts, not only emphasizing the indispensability of the classics but also guiding dedicated readers to progress step by step, from simple to profound.
Zhuangzi is the wisdom of nature. Zhuangzi believed that humans must realize that their existence is organically connected to the natural world within infinite time and space. Humans must observe everything through the lens of nature. In other words, people should not define themselves based on others, nor draw humanity from nature, nor derive value from the worthless, nor present from the past and future, nor life from death, nor the infinite from the finite. Only in this way can one transcend constraints and achieve freedom. This is what makes Zhuangzi's philosophy different from the other pre-Qin philosophers.
