The Zhuangzi, an ancient Chinese Daoist text written by the philosopher known by the same name, has a lot to say about people who are considered “disabled”. This is interesting in itself, as parts of it were written around the 4th century BCE, when only the privileged could read and write.
Why would the authors of this text, men of privilege, be interested in people who were considered at the time to be “less than normal”?
