Who is the author of Liezi?
Liezi was written by Liezi and his disciples. Liezi, whose real name is Kou, also known as Yukou, was born in Putian (now Zhengzhou City, Henan Province) in the Zhou Dynasty, and the ancient emperor was behind the mountain. One of the top ten in the world before Qin Dynasty, he was a famous Taoist scholar, thinker, philosopher, writer, educator and representative of Taoism in the early Warring States period.

Liezi is another representative figure of Taoism besides Laozi and Zhuangzi, and is contemporary with Zheng Miaogong. His scholarship originated from Huangdi Laozi, and he advocated inaction. At the end of Han Dynasty, there were eight volumes of Liezi in the Taoist part of Ban Gu's Yi Wen Zhi. Liezi, also known as Xu Chongjing (written from 450 BC to 375 BC), is an important Taoist classic. The Han Book Yiwenzhi contains eight volumes of Liezi, which was lost earlier.
