| Annotation: | Houten analyzes the use of the term, Tzu-jan (self-so), in Pre-Han texts such as the writings of Chuang-Tzu and Lao-Tzu as well as in texts of the syncretistic Han period. Important in establishing Taoism’s character as a systematized nature religion, the philosophical term tzu-jan begins with a meaning simply denoting spontaneous action however, it later evolves into a notion that connects both Confucian and Taoist ideas on culture and nature. |
