Book Description: Laozhuang philosophy is an important part of China's traditional culture, standing side by side with Confucian culture and Buddhist culture as a tripod. It has a vast system and profound content. Zhan Jianfeng, the late professor of Central China Normal University, was deeply versed in Western philosophy and ancient Chinese philosophy, with a comprehensive knowledge that bridged East and West. He was particularly skilled in the study of Mozi and the Mo Jing, as well as Laozhuang philosophy. This book is the crystallization of the author's research on Laozi. Combining years of meticulous study and reflection, the author examines Laozi's life and explores the evolution of his philosophical lineage. The author dedicates two chapters to introducing Laozi's concepts of "Heavenly Way of Nature" and "Human Law of Nature," which encompass the extraordinary aspects of Laozi's thought. This book holds significant cultural and academic value, making it a rewarding read from the very beginning.
