Definitions and Origins of the Zhuangzi


Episode 1066


The term Zhuangzi primarily identifies a significant philosophical text from ancient China that serves as a cornerstone of Taoist thought. This title is also used to refer to the historical philosopher, Zhuang Zhou, who is traditionally credited with creating these influential anecdotes and fables. Additionally, the name can represent an ancient writing system known as Sawndip, which was historically utilized by the Zhuang people. Because the term has multiple meanings, this source acts as a disambiguation guide to help readers distinguish between the literary work, the author, and the ethnic script. These various definitions highlight the deep cultural and linguistic legacy associated with the name in East Asian history.
