Talk:Zhuang Zi
From Academic Kids
[edit]
Birth & death dates
The Hundred Schools of Thought entry references Zhuang Zi and gives his lifespan as 369 - 286 BC. Is there a reason his birth and death are not given here, in his own entry? Disputed? --Ds13 06:14, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Space in names
I am still wondering how the name of ancient Chinese masters should be written. Here we have three possibile forms: Zhuang Zi, Zhuang zi, and Zhuangzi. Imo, we could use first for the man and third for the book, in italic. So "Zhuang Zi wrote the Zhuangzi"
The same for many other ones: Mo Zi, Lao Zi, Xun Zi, Sun Zi, Lie Zi, and so on... gbog 17:23, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- "Zhuang zi" is just weird English capitalization. You might as well write it Zhuang-zi.
- I agree that Zhuangzi is to be used as book title.
- For people's name, I'd go either way, but leaning toward Zhuangzi.

Copyright issues
Is Watson's translation still subject to copyright? I thought it was; perhaps the quote is illegal?
