論衡 by Chong Wang
"論衡" by Chong Wang is a wide-ranging Chinese classic text first published in 80 CE. Spanning 85 chapters with over 200,000 characters, this collection of critical essays challenges prevailing beliefs about natural science, Chinese mythology, philosophy, and literature. Through polemical arguments supported by earlier writings, Wang questions popular misconceptions and religious claims. The work frequently champions Daoist principles of naturalism and spontaneity, arguing against the notion that Heaven intentionally creates things for
human benefit. It stands as an encyclopedic record of ancient Chinese thought and folklore. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
