Huainan Zi, also known as Huainan Lie Hong, was compiled by Liu An, the imperial clan of the Western Han Dynasty. According to the "Han Shu Yi Wen Shi" cloud: "There are twenty-one articles in Huainan and thirty-three articles outside", Yan Shigu notes: "Twenty-one articles in the book are probably the legacy of the original book. In high order, "red" means broad and "fierce" means bright. The author thinks that this book contains broad and distinct principles. The content of the book is complex, which combines Taoism, Yin and Yang, Mohism, Buddhism and some Confucianism, but the main idea tends to Taoism. Han Shu listed it as a sage's ambition. There are 2 1 articles in Hanshu Yiwenzhi, and there are 33 articles in the book, including Taoist discourses and miscellaneous sayings. This book has twenty-one articles. Mainly based on Taoist thought, it combines Confucianism, law, yin and yang. , and generally listed Huai Nan Zi as a saint. In fact, this book is the representative work of Huang Lao's research theory system, which is guided by Taoism and absorbed hundreds of theories from the Warring States to the early Han Dynasty. When explaining philosophy, Huainanzi refers to strange things and ghosts and gods, and retains some mythological materials, such as Goddess Mending the Heaven, Shooting the Sun in Houyi, and * * * Don't touch the surrounding mountains with public anger, etc., which are mainly circulated in this book.

After reading this book, future generations all think that this book is just a Taoist book intended to invite immortals to visit Taoism and learn from Huang Laoyan. Huang Lao Dao was an official school highly praised by Wen Jing in the early Han Dynasty. As we all know, this book is the product of fierce political struggle and ideological debate in the early years of Jianyuan.
