An ancient poem secretly cites the Zhuangzi in one sixth of its verses
The Owl Fu is the oldest known fu poem and was written in 170 BC by the author Jia Yi. This writing incorporates large citations from the philosophical work Zhuangzi without ever explicitly mentioning the latter by name. The text thus borrows from the Taoist work for one sixth of its total length.
