Talking About Warring States Period 5: the Four Great Masters
by Jia Zhigang
About This Novel
The Warring States Period was an era when rituals collapsed and wars were frequent, but it was also an era in the history of Chinese thought when hundreds of schools of thought contended and stars shone brightly. What would happen if Mozi, Zhuangzi, Mencius and Xunzi gathered in a small city? Perhaps the intensity of the ideological war here is no less intense than the troubled times outside. In "Talking about Spring and Autumn", I once traveled to the chaos of Confucius's era, and then to the Warring States Period. Not just random ones, all the masters and disciples of the schools from the Warring States Period have traveled through time. In Lanling City, the four great masters each occupy their own area, including Confucians, Taoists, Mohists, famous masters, Legalists, Yin-Yangists, novelists, peasants, etc. The founders of sects or their disciples and descendants are all here. They lived, thought, and argued freely. In this "time-travel drama" starring the scholars of the Warring States Period, the spiritual legacy left to future generations by the Warring States Period appears in its original form.
