This paper was prepared for the conference on “The Yellow Emperor’s Thought vs. the Hundred Schools of Thought in the Pre-Qin Period,” sponsored by the KoGuan Chinese Rule of Law and Principle Studies Center of Tsinghua University,September 12-14,2014. I have revised the original version after learning a great deal from the conference. First,I want to thank the Law Center at Tsinghua University and Professor Leo KoGuan’s,support for this important undertaking. At the conference at Zhuolu in September,unresolved questions,such as the differences between Huang Di ideas and those of Han Feizi and the Huang Lao texts,for example,were discussed in depth. My understanding of Huang Di’s role in Chinese culture expanded as a result of the conference. I realize now that not only was this great sage a law giver,institution builder,diplomat,and astute warrior. He was also an advocate for the female side of nature and an environmentalist,as Professor Leo Koguan pointed out during the meeting.My references to Professor KoGuan’s work come from the latest version of his paper and his remarks at the conference. See “The Yellow Emperor Hypothesis 12:Xuan Yuan Anti-entropic Operating System 2.0”to be published in the volume for the conference. It was also useful to learn that Huang Di maintained the Daoist emphasis on enjoying life!He was not simply a workaholic,but a man of balance in all aspects of his being and thus a superb role model for all the ages.
