Master Guan Zong was in the sixth century BC, a famous minister in the Chinese state Qi. About the middle of the third century BC a book appeared about master Guan in the scientific academy of Chi-Xia. The book was completed and edited until about 26 BC, it reached its present form. De Guanzi, as the book is called, contains many texts on government, administration and economics. But apart from that, there is also a part about the human mind. The working of the inner self, is one of four scriptures, which describe mental and psychological aspects.
The texts show that even ages ago,
there was a deep thinking about the human mind. Even for the present day,
thess texts have nothing lost of their
significance. |
