Guiguzi
Guiguzi (鬼谷子), also called Baihece (simplified Chinese: 捭阖策; traditional Chinese: 捭闔策; pinyin: bǎihécè), is a collection of ancient Chinese texts compiled between the late Warring States period and the end of the Han Dynasty. The work, between 6,000–7,000 Chinese characters, discusses techniques of rhetoric. Although originally associated with the School of Diplomacy, the Guiguzi was later integrated into the Daoist canon.
