Thank you for putting Leizi into a helpful context. Eva Wong’s translation of the Leizi seems quite good, although admittedly I know nothing of Classical Chinese.
The translations from the Zhuangzi by Louis Komjathy are amazingly clear, thank you again, I will follow this up!
Your welcome! Yes, Eva Wong's translation was the first I read of the Liezi and I like some of her work. She translated a very nice folk story about the early Quanzhen masters called Seven Taoist Masters: A Folk Novel of China. However, sometimes her work is a little inaccurate historically and from a translation perspective. AC Graham's translation of the Liezi is probably the most accurate. It's called The Book of Lieh-Tzu: A Classic of the Tao.
This was new to me. Thank you.. i know a little of classical pieces and stories but this has sparked my interest anew.
