“Famous for the quickness of his mind as well as the breadth of his learning, [Wang Bi] grew up with one of the best private libraries of his time. Although he died of a sudden illness at the age of 24 he was among the first to discuss Taoism as metaphysics rather than religion. As a result, his commentary has been preferred over that of Heshang Gung by Confucian scholars.”
