Not illustrated. 1903 Excerpt: ...with each other. This distinctly political feature of Lao's philosophy was much obscured by Chwangtsz, ' &T-who considered it an intolerable burden for a philosopher to rule a country:2 He would rather dwell in the secluded Mount of Miao-ku-sh, ' where he may live more in unison with Nature. We can hardly expect political teachings from such a philosopher. We may pass over Sun Wu and Wu Ch'i and hasten to study Han Fe-tsz' &.3F-3-, who brought the Lao-Han philosophy to its culmination. The primary object of Han's teachings was to inculcate in the prince the art of becoming a Pa. It was with the same end in view that he travelled from court to court in quest of a drincc to apply his doctrine, until he fell victim to the jealousy of another statesman of a similar mould. If Ts'in, says he, when she defeated Tsu, had not concluded peace with her, but put her out of existence, she might likewise have subdued Ching and exploited her land and people, weakened Ts'i and Yen and defied the three Tsin, and thus by one stroke attained the name ofPa-wang (Lord-King)3 and received the obeisance of the neighboring princes.4 To be a pa-wang in these days was, again to use Han's wording, to break up alliances, annex Chao and destroy Han, subject Ching and Wei, befriend Ts'i and Yen, and receive the homage of the princes and possess the whole country.5 Such was the picture of the lord-king he wished to see in life. Before going into the detail of his doctrine of /a-ship, it might be well to consider what seem to be the ulterior principles on which he based his entire political philosophy. Here his scholastic relation to Lao seems undeniable. He declares that mutual justice1 is the tie of the prince and the subject, and that the philosophy of government springs from nat.
