Allyn Rickett`s authoritative translation of the first 33 essays of Guanzi (or Kuan tzu) performs an inestimable service to the field of China studies. The product of nearly 40 years of careful, committed scholarship, it includes generous annotations and is the standard English edition of this work. The Guanzi, named for the famous minister of state Guan Zhong (d. 645 B.C.), was put together in its present form circa 26 B.C. by the Han dynasty scholar Liu Xiang. The surviving text consists of some 70 essays by anonymous writers dating from the fifth century B.C. to about the time of Liu Xiang himself in the first century B.C. Most noted amongst these essays is material concerning early Chinese economic and political theory, especially the concept of qing zhong, perhaps the world's earliest statement of the quantitative theory of money. The text also includes information on such topics as early Chinese social structure and practices, military organization and theory, early historical romance literature, and early Chinese thought, including Taoism, naturalistic theory, and the amalgam of Taoist and Legalist thought known as Huang-Loa. V. 1. Chapters I, 1-xi, 34, And Xx, 64-xxi, 65-66 -- V. 2. Chapters Xii, 35-xxiv, 86. By W. Allyn Rickett. Translation Of: Kuan-tzu / Kuan Chung. Parallel Title In Chinese Characters. In 1955, I Revised Part Of My Translation Of The Guanzi's Surviving Seventy-six Chapters And Submitted Eight Of Them As A Ph.d. Dissertation To The University Of Pennsylvania ... In 1965 The University Of Hong Kong Press Published My Kuan-tzu: A Repository Of Early Chinese Thought, Which Contained Twelve Chapters, Including The Original Eight Of My Dissertation--pref. Includes Bibliographical References And Index. The Guanzi 管子 [Book of Master Guan],which bears the name of a famous seventh-century b.C- minister of the state of Qi 齊,Guan Zhong 管仲(685-645 B.c.), has been described by Gustav Haloun (1898-1951), Czech sinologist, as an “amorphous and vast repository of ancient literature.’’ It is certainly one of the largest of the pre-Han 漢,or early Han politico-philosophical works, exceeding 135,000 characters in length and containing material written by a number of anonymous writers over a long period of time.
