This edition of Liezi features both English and Chinese side-by-side for easy reference and bilingual support. The paragraphs are numbered and organized for easy reading. Chapters are hyperlinked for quick navigation. The Liezi is now more accessible for your study and enjoyment. The Leizi is often considered to be the third of the Chinese philosophical texts in the line of thought represented by the Laozi and the Zhuangzi, the writings that describe and encapsulate Daoist philosophy. The beautiful and rich translation of Lionel Giles is preserved completely, matching his translations to the text side by side. The Liezi is attributed to Lie Yukou, a circa 5th century BCE Hundred Schools of Thought philosopher, and Chinese and Western scholars believe it was compiled around the 4th century CE. 《列子》又名《冲虚经》、《冲虚真经》,是道家重要典籍,由郑人列禦寇所著,所著年代不详,大体是春秋戰国时代。该書按章節分为《天瑞》、《黄帝》、《周穆王》、《仲尼》、《湯問》、《力命》、《楊朱》、《說符》等八篇,每一篇均由多个寓言故事组成,寓道于事。其中较为人熟悉的包括“愚公移山”、“杞人忧天”、“亡鈇者(亡鈇意鄰)”、“歧路亡羊”等。書中許多寓言都帶有足以警世的教訓,也具有一定的文學價值。 唐代时,《冲虚真经》与《道德經》、《莊子》、《文子》并列为道教四部经典。
