Chuang Tzu (c. 370–300 BC)

Chinese philosopher, the second most important writer in the Taoist tradition, following Lao Zi. He was renowned for his wit, storytelling, and discourses on the inadequacy of words to describe anything of meaning. Stories about him were collected into a book called the Chuang Tzu, which became one of the most influential books in the rise of philosophical Taoism.
