In this interpretation of the tenets of Daoist philosophy on the basis of the imagery employed in various Daoist texts, the author explains the significance of such images as water and the female and allegories such as the "Dream of the Butterfly," and shows how they connect to each other and how ancient Chinese philosophers understood them.
