dc.descriptionIn China, Taoism has been as infl uential as Confucianism. It was more infl uential than Confucianism in the time of the “Six Dynasties”; viz., from the third to the sixth centuries. It was at that time that the Taoistic classics had their best commentators. Wang Pi’s “Commentaries on the Lao-tzu ” and Kuo Hsiang’s “Commentaries on the Chuang-tzu ”, for instance, have become classics themselves; I venture to say that some passages of their “Commentaries” are even more illuminating than the texts. A great part of the book is now regarded by most scholars as the production of the “Six Dynasties”. It is only in the Chuang-tzu that we have a well-developed philosophy; and a great part of that book, especially the “inner chapters”, is usually considered genuine. There are also side branches of Taoism, the ultramaterialism and hedonism of Yang Chu, for instance. But Chuang Tzu’s philosophy represents the main current of the Taoistic teaching. His book, with Kuo Hsiang’s “Commentaries”, is the most important literature of Taoism.en_US
