With a reference to the ancient studies of the relationship between man, nature, and society hidden in the selected 78 stories from Liezi, the author of this book intends to tell his readers that, rather than merely a collection of parables or materials for schoolchildren's textbooks,Liezi may serve as a valuable reference for art, history, and social sciences. It contains the ideas, approaches, and allusions revealing management strategies based on the human origin and highlights the unities between freedom and regulations, national stability and family harmony, health preservation and moral cultivation, indulgence and abstinence, selflessness and selfishness, natural ecology and human activities, and the mandate of heaven and man's subjectivity.
