PHILOSOPHICAL

Books were also banned for “departing from Confucian classics and rebelling against orthodoxy” and challenging the conventional academic consensus. A Book to Burn (Fen shu 焚書) were prohibited for its criticism of Confucian tradition and promotion of embracing man’s true nature. The Interpretation of the Zhuangzi (Zhuangzi yi 莊子翼) and Questions Regarding the Book of the Changes (Yijing cun yi 易經存疑) are also representations of this category.
