Features: This book focuses on the classified research, division and verification of chapters in the Guanzi, as well as the interpretation of its compilation and dissemination. The book particularly emphasizes historical research, arguing that the Guanzi is not the of Guan Zhong from the Spring and Autumn period, but rather a work gradually compiled by many scholars who promoted the reforms of the Tian Qi state and relied on Guan Zhong. The Guanzi originated from the Jixia Academy and is dominated by the political thought of the Legalists of Qi, while incorporating elements of Taoism, Confucianism, and other schools in the Hundred Schools of Thought. It covers topics such as politics, law, education, philosophy, and military strategy. The entire book is well-structured and presents many new insights.
