The Chapter Commentary on Zhuangzi

The book divides the thirty-three chapters of the Zhuangzi into two hundred and fifty-five sections. According to Chen Jingyuan’s own preface: "Titles are assigned according to the content of each section, which is called chapter and sentence annotation. Under each chapter, pronunciations, characters, meanings are explained, and related matters are annotated, which is designated as chapter meaning". This is exactly the style and structure of this book. It possesses certain value for the collation and textual research of the Zhuangzi.
