Prose of pre-Qin philosophers came into being during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. His major works include The Analects of Confucius, Mencius, Laozi, Zhuangzi, Xunzi, Everything is done wrong, and Lv Chunqiu. The development of pre-Qin philosophers' prose has roughly gone through three stages: the first stage is the turn of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, represented by The Analects of Confucius and Mozi. The Analects of Confucius is a short essay. Mozi has been discussed in the dialogue and has begun to take on the scale of argumentative writing. The mid-Warring States period is the second stage of development, represented by Mencius and Zhuangzi. Mencius is a dialogic argumentative essay, while Zhuangzi is close to a monograph. The late Warring States period is the third stage of development, represented by Xunzi and Han Feizi. Most of the essays of pre-Qin philosophers are full of literary talent, and they make good use of metaphors to tell things and argue right and wrong, which enhances their persuasiveness, while the extensive use of rhetorical devices such as parallelism and exaggeration makes the articles more colorful. In a word, the prose of pre-Qin philosophers had a far-reaching influence on later literature both in thought and art.
