The Divine Philosopher Zhuangzi

Zhuangzi (c. 369–286 BCE), named Zhou, courtesy name Zixiu (or Zimu), was a descendant of the Chu royal family and a later descendant of King Zhuang of Chu. From 591 BCE to 387 BCE, Wu Qi's reforms shook the interests of Chu nobles. After King Dao of Chu died in 381 BCE, Wu Qi was pursued by the nobles he had offended. Wu Qi clung to the king's corpse and was killed by arrows, but the nobles involved committed the crime of 'exterminating the clan' for damaging the royal corpse. Zhuangzi's ancestors, to avoid this disaster, fled to the Song state's Meng region. Zhuangzi was a renowned thinker, philosopher, and writer, a representative of the Daoist school, inheritor and developer of Laozi's philosophy, founder of the pre-Qin Zhuangzi school, and one of the Seven Pre-Qin Masters. His knowledge was vast; he traveled to many states and experienced many mysterious stories.
