Features: Among the pre-Qin philosophers, the Mo Jing and the Gongsun Longzi are the most debated works. Modern scholars often regard these two as opposing schools of thought. The author of this book has conducted an in-depth study of the punctuation of the Gongsun Longzi, proposed many new interpretations of its overall meaning, and also offered new explanations for relevant texts in the Mo Jing. Since these interpretations are derived through meticulous examination and repeated deliberation of the original texts, they largely base their arguments on the rationality of the statements, revealing a straightforward logical thinking. They can be said to be well-founded and logically coherent. This book is part of Zhonghua Book Company's "Translation and Annotation Series of Chinese Classical Masterpieces."
