Features: Taoism is a native religion of China, with an extremely rich body of literature, and the Nanhuazhenjing (True Classic of the South Pool) is one of its most important works. The Nanhuazhenjing is the same as the Zhuangzi. Guo Xiang's annotation from the Jin Dynasty emphasizes philosophical meaning and elaborates on Zhuangzi's thought, making it widely popular. Cheng Xuying's commentary from the Tang Dynasty focuses on explaining historical facts, allusions, personages, place names, and the pronunciation and meaning of words in the Zhuangzi, along with sentence structure analysis, making it more detailed than Guo Xiang's annotation. This book combines the essence of both Guo and Cheng, making it an invaluable resource for understanding the true meaning of Taoism.
