Yang Chu's Garden Of Pleasure (1912)

Yang Chu�������s Garden Of Pleasure is a book written by Yang Chu, a Chinese philosopher who lived during the Warring States period. The book is a collection of his philosophical ideas and beliefs, which revolve around the pursuit of pleasure and happiness in life.The book is divided into three parts, each of which explores a different aspect of Yang Chu�������s philosophy. The first part focuses on the importance of living in the present moment and enjoying life to the fullest. The second part delves into the idea of self-indulgence and the pursuit of pleasure as a means of achieving happiness. The third and final part discusses the importance of cultivating a sense of detachment from material possessions and worldly desires in order to achieve true contentment.Throughout the book, Yang Chu uses vivid imagery and poetic language to convey his ideas. He draws on a variety of sources, including Taoist and Confucian philosophy, as well as his own personal experiences and observations of the world around him.Despite its focus on pleasure and enjoyment, Yang Chu�������s Garden Of Pleasure is not a hedonistic work. Rather, it is a thoughtful exploration of what it means to live a fulfilling life and how we can find happiness in a world that is often chaotic and unpredictable.First published in 1912, this book has become a classic of Chinese philosophy and is still widely read and studied today.
