As a book of wisdom, Lieh Tzu can open people’s minds and endow people with wisdom and enlightenment. By observing the law of rise and fall in nature, the book promotes Lao Tzu’s obscurity, metaphor, simplicity and subtletly mong others, so it is an indispensable part of Taoist principles. The well-known sayings, fables and essays described in Lieh Tzu can reflect Taoists’ aspiration for spiritual freedom.All the passages in the eight volumes of Lieh Tzu, short or long, have their own themes that can reflect wisdom and philosophy in plain and interesting language. As long as we browse and digest them one by one, we can surely benefit a lot from them in many respects. According to Lieh Tzu, the learner should not only know what it is but also know why it is, the real skills are acquired by practicing with all efforts and as there is no end of knowledge and skills, one should not be satisfied with what he has learned up to the present.

Chuang Tzu is the second greatest classical work of Taoist thought and philosophy in China. It has had great influence both on China and on the rest of the world since it began to be disseminated. It is mostly written in the form of fable. All of the fables are written by traversing space-time to elucidate the Great Tao and the philosophy of life. It has shone, is shining and will shine on the development of the world with Taoist wisdom. Chuang Tzu is always an indispensible guideline to the people who are confused. As we know, the rich material world cannot change the poor spiritual world. The pursuit for material life is like a shackle, which makes it impossible for people to find a final and stable home to return to. People are deeply involved in the construction of material life without stop, but they can hardly find where their real happiness is in their lives. Faced with this universal problem, the Western society turns to Jesus for a solution while the oriental society turns to Chuang Tzu’s “leisurely and care- free” philosophy for a solution. Just like Lao Tzu, Chuang Tzu always reminds people to find for themselves the root of moral character—nature and return to it. If people do not return to the root, they will lose their real happiness of life. To taste life better, people should read Chuang Tzu; to become leisurely and carefree, people should read Chuang Tzu. Chuang Tzu can help people broaden their horizon and learn how to look at their life from a higher standing point and find real happiness for themselves. This work, though named New Paraphrase of Chuang Tzu, is actually an English version of Chuang Tzu. It is just aimed to set up a bridge between English readers and Chuang Tzu.

Kuanyin Tzu, or True Man of Wenshih, is Yin Hsi, Frontier Com-mander of Hankukuan Pass. He is one of the ten great thinkers in The Pre-Ch’in Period. He is also a senior official, general and philosopher as well as an educator in The Eastern Chou Dynasty. He is a founder of the Taoist School and a contemporary of Lao Tzu. He is the first man in inheriting and propagating Lao Tzu or Tao Te Ching in human history. According to Historical Records, “Lao Tzu studied the theory of Tao and virtue which takes living in seclusion and no-name as its top priority. He lived in the capital of The Eastern Chou Dynasty for a long time and seeing that The Eastern Chou Dynasty was on the de-cline, he left there. When he arrived at Hankukuan Pass, Yin Hsi, Frontier Commander of Hankukuan Pass, said to him, ‘You’re going to live in seclusion. Would you please be so kind as to write a book for me?’ Thus, Lao Tzu wrote a book consisting of Part One and Part Two which describes the contents of Tao and virtue with over 5,000 Chi-nese characters and then he left. Nobody knew where he had gone.” This book is called Lao Tzu or Tao Te Ching, a classical work with the largest number of editions and the largest number of publications in human history.

The Tao te Ching of Lao Tzu is one of the most widely read and deeply cherished books in the world, a work many consider the wisest book ever written. In his introduction, translator Brian Browne Walker says, "It is less a book than a living, breathing angel." In his new translation, Walker stays close to the direct literal accuracy of the Chinese characters while producing a modern, exceptionally clear version that has the ring and voice of Lao Tzu, a man who may or may not have been a single individual. "I have come to think of Lao Tzu less as a man who once lived," Walker writes, "and more as a song that plays, eternal and abiding."
