Zihui (congshu)

Zihui (simplified Chinese: 子汇; traditional Chinese: 子彙; Wade–Giles: Tzu-hui) is the title of a Chinese book series (congshu). The anthology of (minor) philosophers was edited and printed during the Ming dynasty by Zhou Ziyi 周子義 (1529–1586) and others and comprises 24 works.[1]

The collection brings together writings from various philosophical schools dating from the Warring States period to the Tang dynasty. It includes one work each from the Legalist school, the School of Diplomacy (Zonghengjia), and Mohism; seven works of Confucianism, nine of Daoism, three of the School of Names, and two of the Eclectic school. The printed texts survive partly as complete editions and partly as compilations.

The Hanyu da zidian (HYDZD), for example, makes use of the Zihui editions of the Wunengzi 无能子 and the Zi Huazi 子华子.[2]
