Daoist Philosophy: Identity | Zhuangzi’s Death of Hundun

A strange story of two emperors drilling a face into a third. A mythical call to stay healthy and live long, a political critique of wanting others to be like oneself, or an allegory about how society forces us to take on identities? #Zhuangzi #Daoism #Philosophy Sources: Zhuangzi: https://ctext.org/zhuangzi Huainanzi: https://ctext.org/huainanzi Guo Xiang commentary: https://ctext.org/wiki.pl?if=en&res=7...
