Preface

Cultural classics like Huainanzi emerged in the fertile land of Huainan. Why is it so fascinating and popular in the recorded history of more than two thousand years?

Gao You, the scholar of Dong Han dynasty, held that classics were about everything in the world-all matters, big and small. Liu Zhiji of Tang dynasty spoke highly of knowledge of things, past and present. The great scholar Hu Shi evaluated the substantial content of the stories, using the expressions: a perfectly unheard-of, fantastic story. Liu An voiced his own aspirations in the summary of Huainanzi-on conjecturing moralities of occurrences in human life and truth. He believed that even if people did not grasp the law of the development of nature, human life and society, the substantial content of the stories could make people understand the beginning and end of the development of the boundless universe. So long as people read stories, they would continue to be aware of why Huainanzi remains unique in Liu An's quest of writing the stories.

However, Liu An the king of Huainan's rebellious spirit is not the main aspect of Taoism and archaic and abstruse writing turn Huainanzi into a big desert of the lonely starlit sky.
