Shizi (book)
The ''Shizi'' is an eclectic Chinese classic written by Shi Jiao (c. 390–330 BCE), and the earliest text from Chinese philosophical school of ''Zajia'' "Syncretism", which combined ideas from the Hundred Schools of Thought, including Confucianism, Daoism, Mohism, and Legalism. The ''Shizi'' text was written c. 330 BCE in twenty sections, and was well known from the Han dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE) until the Song dynasty (960–1279) when all copies were lost. Scholars during the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1911) dynasties reconstructed the ''Shizi'' from quotations in numerous sources, yet only about 15 percent of the original text was recovered and now extant. Western sinology has largely ignored the ''Shizi'' and it was one of the last Chinese classics to be translated into English. Authorship Little is known about Shi Jiao or Shizi "Master Shi" except for references to his eponymous text. He was probably from the Warring States period state of Jin (modern Shanxi) ...
