列御寇

Lie Yukou is the authorial name closely associated with the Daoist classic Liezi in the tradition of ancient Chinese Daoist thought. Reliable public information about his life and nationality is limited, and his birth and death years remain uncertain. The library holds three related works, with representative titles including Liezi and Liezi: Chongxu Zhide Zhenjing, commonly classified under Eastern philosophy. These texts are known for their fables, myths, and philosophical stories, using fantastical narratives to express ideas of following nature and valuing emptiness and tranquility. The style is concise and imaginative, conveying deeper meanings through short tales. Many passages have circulated widely in later ages, becoming important materials for understanding Daoist concepts and key texts for the study of early Daoist thought and fable literature.
