Is considered the author of the Daoist book Liezi, which uses his honorific name Liezi (??; Lièzi; Lieh-tzu; "Master Lie"). The second Chinese character in Yukou is written kou ? "bandit; enemy"; the first is written yu ? "imprison", yu ? "resist; ward off", or occasionally yu ? "drive (carriage); ride (horse); control" (the Zhuangzi claims Liezi could yufeng ?? "ride the wind").There is little historical evidence of Lie Yukou as a Hundred Schools of Thought philosopher during the Warring States Period.
