The Heguanzi, Pheasant Cap Master, has long been neglected and misunderstood. It combines a potent mix of religion, metaphysics, philosophy, politics, and strategy, unrolling a vibrant picture of life and death in perhaps the most climactic period of Chinese history.

This first full translation and analysis is a must for anyone interested in Chinese culture.
