A fact from Zhuangzi (book) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 30 May 2014 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that in a famous story in the Zhuangzi, Zhuangzi woke up from a dream wondering whether he was Zhuangzi dreaming of being a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming of being him?
Probably not the translation I would have chosen, but the people's names in the original are 儵 and 忽, which are adjectives in the vein of "suddenly" and meant to be read as obviously fictional. It was a theme for awhile. Folly Mox (talk) 20:44, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have no objection, but be aware that the templates may force "Last, First" for the authors. That can be less readable. Try it and see how it looks. White Whirlwind 16:12, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Zhuang Zhou" subsection
@Remsense: I think you added the following sentence to this subsection: "Conversely, University of Sydney lecturer Esther Klein observes: 'In the perception of the vast majority of readers, whoever authored the core Zhuangzi text was Master Zhuang.'" This sentence seems a non sequitur. Why is it the "converse" of the preceding sentence, which is Burton Watson's quote that we know almost nothing about who Zhuangzi was? Wouldn't Klein's quote be more relevant in a subsection about the authorship of the text, rather than in one about Zhuangzi as a person? White Whirlwind 17:55, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Aye, I don't think I connected this material in the best way. Feel free to reseat it however you think is best—failing that, I'll take a look later today.
I've also been reading through the 2022 Dao Companion to the Zhuangzi edited by Kim-chong Chong—hoping there's a good chunk in there for the article, I sort of wandered away from it for a while. Remsense诉17:58, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
