Чжуан-цзы испытывает жену (1913)

Интересные факты

Zhuangzi Tests His Wife is a 1913 Hong Kong drama film directed by Lai Man-Wai. It is the earliest feature film of Hong Kong cinema, and the only film made by the Huamei (Chinese-American) Studio, which was co-founded by Benjamin Brodsky, who had sold his Asia Film Company in Shanghai, and Lai Pak-hoi, Man-Wai's brother. The film was never screened in Hong Kong. Brodsky brought the film to the United States, and it became the first Hong Kong-produced fiction film to be shown in the United States. It is based on the zidishu play "The Butterfly Dream" written by Chunshuzhai. No known prints of the film still exist.

Background

Fourth century BCE Zhuangzi (or Zhuang Zhou), one of the two defining figures of Chinese Taoism, based his philosophy on all things changing, and the perception of truth depending on the context under which it exists. Throughout history, his teachings have been particularly favored by Chinese scholars and artists, many of whom were inspired by Zhuangzi's philosophy.
