Text

Wu, Jingxiong [Wu, John C.H.]. Shakespeare as a taoist. In : T’ien Hsia monthly ; no 3 (1936).
Er schreibt : "The fundamental of taoism is the subtle idea of the permeation or interpenetration of opposites, life's mingled yarn. This is exactly the vision that Shakespeare saw. Shakespeare is so inebriated with this thoroughly taoist notion that he applies it to every situation in life, with the result that underneath the infinite variety of his lore, there lurks a simplicity that is primoridal. I almost think that the works of Shakespeare can be used as a casebook of taoism."
