 Background of Confusius, Lao Tzu, Chuang Tzu, Mencius and Sun Tzu
Zhuang Zi's denial of the differences between right and wrong, life and death, oneself and others, illusion and reality, his antagonism to progress and his longing for a return to the prehistoric times, reflected a deep sense of pessimism, similar to that expressed in Lao Zi.
Xun Zi traveled to the state of Qi twice as a visiting teacher and served on two occasions in Chu as magistrate.
Xun Zi's concept of nature was a step forward compared to the naive materialism or atheism initiated during the Spring and Autumn Period, and he also spoke of benevolence, but he emphasized the importance of rites.

 XUN KUANG
Xun Kuang concludes that his actions in the crisis surrounding the rescue of Handan and the salvation of Zhao from impending annihilation show that the conduct of the Lord of Pingyuan may be said to have fulfilled the principle that "one should follow the Way and not follow the lord."
Xun may have come to the attention of Huang Xie when he was a diplomat from Chu in Qin at the same time as Xun's visit there, but more probably they became acquainted in the aftermath of the siege when both were in Handan.
Xun Kuang was devastated and demoralized by Chunshen's assassination.

 Han Feizi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Himself a part of the aristocracy, Han Feizi was born into the ruling family of the state of Han during the end phase of the Warring States Period.
Apart from the Confucianist Xun Zi, who was his and Li Si's teacher, the other main source for his political theories was Lao Zi's Taoist work, the Tao Te Ching, which he interpreted as a political text, and on which he wrote a commentary (chapters 20 and 21 in his book, Han Feizi).
He saw the Tao as a natural law that everyone and everything was forced to follow.

 CHAPTER XXI
The Zhuang Zi school which was most concerned with the freedom of mind and the extension of spirit made every effort to eradicate all obstacles to the freedom of the mind.
Although even certain intrinsic, necessary functions of spirit were negated by the Zhuang Zi school, their intention was to relieve the disturbances of mind caused by desires, to free the mind from enslavement by feelings and to lead it into the realm of freedom.
Although Xun Zi did not point this out explicitly, the abundant instances — cited by him in his theses titled as Jiebi (elimination of obstructors) — of the descriptions suffered by men in politics and mind indicated that it is value which is unduly admired by men that becomes an obstruction of the mind.

 CHAPTER IV
6 Xun Zi emphasized that the relations between king and subjects, father and son, elder brother and younger brother, husband and wife are the basic ethical and political relations embodying both the ruler and the ruled.
But what is notable is that Xun Zi insisted that every human is the same with respect to physical functioning and intellectual activity, such as feeling, desire and physiological faculties.
Mencius expressed the same idea as Xun Zi and even main-tained that "the people is the most noble; the next is the power of governing the state; which the position of a monarch is lighter".

 Xunzi, Book 6: Contra Twelve Philosophers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Xun Kuang's "Contra Twelve Philosophers" criticizes those philosophers whose doctrines and influence he regarded as dangerous to society.
Xun Kuang attacks the twelve philosophers and the six philosophical positions their theories represent because they confuse the world with false notions of right and wrong and of what produces order and what anarchy.
The use of "provided a tune" and "harmonized" is thus akin to that of "song" and "dance" in the Mohist logical chapters, where "song" means to present as a main thesis and "dance" to add a secondary thesis.

 The Confucian Quest for Order   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Xun Zi, one of the principal thinkers of the pre-imperial period and as such still widely read, ought to appear on any reading list on Chinese intellectual history.
Sato’s volume deals with the origin and formation of Xun Zi’s political thought, with close focus on the intellectual activity of the Jixia Academy and its impact on this synthesizer’s theory on rituals and social norms.
The main part of the work treats the shift of intellectual inquiry from an argument of ethical matters to an analysis of the principle(s) of socio-political mechanism, thus showing Xun Zi as a formative synthesizer of the two main streams of early Chinese intellectual discourse.

 Chinese Literature - Xunzi 荀子 (www.chinaknowledge.org)
Xun Kuang 荀況, also called Xun Qing 荀卿, is the third great Confucian of the pre-Han era (Warring States period 戰國時代).
In Master Xun's writings, Confucian thought is collected in a very systematical style, and the author does not look back to the ideal times of old, like Confucius himself and Mengzi 孟子, but instead tries to concretize propositions to a rule with moral and ritus.
We see here clearly the influence of legist thinking that was far more concrete for daily policy than the ideals of the early Confucians.

 Ethics of Confucius, Mencius and Xun-zi by Sanderson Beck
Zi Xia defended his method of education by saying that the way of a gentleman must not be transmitted before the student is ready.
Confucius once found that he could discuss the odes with Zi Xia, but in evaluating him he said Zi Xia had not reached worthiness yet.
In the first chapter of the Analects Zi Xia is quoted as saying that one who treats betters as betters, serves father and mother with all his strength and his prince with his life, and with his friends is true to his word may be called educated.

Xun pointed out the evil characteristics in human nature: "Wicked but not upright; evil but not ordered." Isn't that the reason our earliest forefather ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil?
