During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, they were quite popular, and many excellent fables can be found in the works of the Hundred Schools of Thought before the Qin Dynasty. For example, in classics such as Mencius, Zhuangzi, Han Feizi, as well as Lüshi Chunqiu and Zhan Guo Ce, many popular fables of the time were used. Such as the satirical Loss of Iron mocking subjective guesses; the satirical Robbing the Rooster criticizing the delay in correcting mistakes; the satirical Helping Plants Grow mocking those who rush for success, make subjective assumptions, and fail to achieve results; the satirical Contradictory Self mocking those who boast but cannot substantiate their claims; as well as other outstanding fable works like Waiting for Rabbits by a Tree, The Man from Zheng Buying Shoes, Marking the Boat to Find the Sword, Adding the Head to the Snake, Ye Gong’s Love for Dragons, and Buying the Box to Return the Pearl. This book not only compiles Aesop’s fables but also includes famous masterpieces by world-renowned fable writers such as La Fontaine, Lessing, and Krylov. These fables are concise, profound, full of wisdom, and inspiring. The book is richly illustrated and is an invaluable and first-choice masterpiece in children’s literature. At the same time, it is also the best version for reading and collecting. Reading these fable stories can enlighten the mind and enhance philosophical thinking.
