Three Jin Culture
From the existing literature, the spread of Taoism can be roughly divided into two major aspects: northern and southern.
The north is divided into the Wenzi branch of the Three Jin Dynasty and the Huanglao school of Qi State. Their common feature is to rebuild the humanistic world based on "Tao", which has obvious The tendency of "joining the WTO".
The southern group is represented by Zhuangzi, who develops Laozi's theory of eliminating "desire", and then turns the orientation of "eternal life and long-term vision" into spiritual freedom, that is, "freedom", showing obvious "Beyond the world" tendency.
The Northern branch of the Three Jin Dynasties has a book called "Wenzi". In the past, it was generally believed that "Wenzi" was a fake book and was made up of chapters excerpted from "Huainanzi" by later generations.
"Wenzi" mainly expounds the Taoist way of governing the world based on the purposes of "Laozi" such as inaction, respect for emptiness, nobleness and softness, and the principle of being behind others.
The ancient version of "Wenzi" pretends that King Ping of Zhou had a conversation with Wenzi. Scholars believe that this is not a meaningless excuse. Wenzi was from Jin and was a historian. His academic background was based on the historiography of the three Jin Dynasties. This is consistent with our understanding of Laozi's academic background.
Moreover, according to the investigation of Mr. Wei Qipeng, the Qin Dynasty bamboo slips "The Way of Being an Official" unearthed in Shuihudi contain the content of Wenzi's learning, which means that the influence of Wenzi's learning in the north extended to the Qin Dynasty. country.
