Once he was discriminated by fellow villagers in youth and was later not recommended to the Court as a government official. There is little information left about him, but his only masterpiece, ''Qianfu Lun'', is a most valuable source. Nowadays, scholars have begun to attach importance to him, but the study is confined by the lack of historical records. Life and times Wang Fu was born in present-day Gansu Province.

Wang Fu (eunuch)
Wang Fu ({{zh, t=王甫; died 179 CE) was a powerful eunuch in the court of Emperor Ling of Han. After Ling took the throne in 168 at the age of twelve, Dou Wu—father of the regent, Empress Dowager Dou Miao—sought to consolidate his power and neutralize that of the eunuch faction. So he drew up a list of four powerful eunuchs to be executed: Guan Ba, Su Kang, Cao Jie, and Wang Fu. But the list was discovered by another eunuch, Zhu Yu, resulting in a complete foiling of the plot and the subsequent death of Dou Wu. Later, in 172, when Empress Dowager Dou Miao died, an unknown vandal wrote on the palace door: All that is under the heaven is in upheaval. Cao and Wang murdered the empress dowager. The key officials only know how to be officials and had nothing faithful to say. This accusation angered the eunuchs referred to, Cao Jie and Wang Fu, who had more than 1,000 people arrested in an unsuccessful investigation to find the culprit. Also in this year, Wang Fu falsely ac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Huahujing
The ''Huahujing'' (formerly written ''Hua Hu Ching'') is a Taoist work, traditionally attributed to Laozi (formerly written Lao Tzu). Two unrelated versions are claimed to exist, a partial manuscript discovered in the Mogao Caves, Dunhuang, in China and a modern English rendering from oral tradition, while some scholars believe the whole work to be a later work from the 4th century CE. Origins The work is honorifically known as the ''Taishang lingbao Laozi huahu miaojing'' (, "The Supreme Numinous Treasure's Sublime Classic on Laozi's Conversion of the Barbarians"). Traditionally, it is said that Laozi wrote it with the intention of converting Buddhists to Taoism, when they began to cross over from India. The Taoists are sometimes claimed to have developed the ''Huahujing'' to support one of their favourite arguments against the Buddhists: that after leaving China to the West, Laozi had travelled as far as India, where he had converted—or even become—the Buddha and thu ...
