About the Book

Yugong Yishan (愚公移山) is a fable essay created by the Chinese philosopher Liezi (列子, 450 AD-375 AD) during the Warring States Period (战国时期). The Warring States period was an era of great social change, as well as a period of controversy among academic scholars. As an important part of Zhuzi's prose (诸子散文), the fable was a powerful weapon for the Warring States to clarify their political views and academic thoughts. The fable narrates the story of an old man named Yugong, who is almost 90 years old, and lives directly opposite the mountain. Suffering from the obstruction in the northern part of the mountainous area, he tried to dig up the steep mountain to make a road leading to the southern part. When the mountain god (山神) learnt about Yugong's resolve, he was afraid that Yugong would dig the mountain endlessly. Therefore, the mountain god reported his concerns to the Emperor of Heaven (天帝). However, the Emperor was moved by Yugong's sincerity, hardship, and perseverance. Subsequently, the Emperor ordered the obstructive mountains to be removed. From this time, there was no high mountain barrier for Yugong.
