Chuang Tzu (Zhuangzi) was a Chinese philosopher from ancient China who wrote a book known by his author's name. Along with the Tao Te Ching, it is one of the foundational texts of Taoism. His writings are characterized by humor, parables, and allegories. He emphasized spontaneity, the relativity of all things, and the freedom that comes from accepting the natural way of the universe.
