Zhuang Zhou (/uˈɑːŋ ˈ/), commonly known as Zhuangzi (/ˈwɑːŋˈdzʌ/; Chinese: 莊子; literally "Master Zhuang"; also rendered in the Wade–Giles romanization as Chuang Tzu), was an influential Chinese philosopher who lived around the 4th century BCE during the Warring States period, a period of great development in Chinese philosophy, the Hundred Schools of Thought.
