韩非子

A collection of works by the famous thinker and legalist Han Fei during the Warring States Period. "Han Feizi" was compiled by his descendants after Han Fei's death. According to "Han Shu·Yiwen Zhi", fifty-five chapters of "Han Zi" are recorded, and "Sui Shu·Jing Ji Zhi" records twenty volumes. Zhang Shoujie's "Historical Records Zhengyi" quotes Ruan Xiaoxu's "Qi Lu" (or Liu Xiang's "Qi Lu") and also states that "Han Feizi" has twenty volumes." The number of chapters and volumes are consistent with the current version, which shows that the current version is not incomplete. Many of the folklore and fables of the time in the book have also become the sources of idioms and allusions.
