About this title: During a period of political and social upheaval in China, the unconventional insights of the great Daoist Zhuangzi (369-286 B.C.) pointed to a way of living naturally.

"The first Tsai Chih Chung book I read. I have since had to search to find more of his illustrated, translated books - I have found/read 6 of them - every one a delight. Answers such burning questions as "Are A Duck's Legs too Short?". Offers wisdom such as "Don't look at today in terms if the past or the future, don't see things in terms of worth & worthlessness, don't draw a boundary around the boundless." Why would one want to live with out such advice?"
