It has a far-reaching influence on later philosophy, aesthetics, literature, science and technology, health preservation, music and religion. Liezi, whose theory originated from Huangdi Laozi, belongs to Laozi and Zhuangzi. The pre-Qin school of philosophy (Liezixue) was established. He is an important successor of Taoist school between Laozi and Zhuangzi.
Liezi, also known as Xu Chongjing, is a classic of the early Huang family. Its ideological theme is mainly Huang Lao, close to Lao Zhuang and pursuing a realm of rushing to nature. All kinds of famous sayings and fables in Xu Chongjing reflect Taoism's yearning for spiritual freedom. Its broad vision, accurate exposition and beautiful writing make people appreciate the beauty of Confucius' prose.
Liezi's works (including those compiled by his disciples) have 20 old editions, eight of which were revised by Liu Xiang and Liu Xin in the Western Han Dynasty, and should be compiled by Liu Xiang, Liu Xin and his son or others at the same time.
There are many pre-Qin fables, myths and legends, health stories, etc. The meaning in the book comes from Huang and Lao, belonging to Lao and Zhuang.
Many fables and myths and legends are recorded in the book, which occupies an important position in the history of ancient China literature. There are also a lot of expositions about health preservation and ancient Qigong in the book, which are also worth studying.

Liezi died and was buried in his hometown of Zhengzhou. In Putian Village, 30 miles east of Zhengzhou, there is a small tomb and tombstone in the southeast of the village, called Liezi Tomb.
There is a tidal river in front of Liezi's tomb, followed by hills, surrounded by jujube trees, and there is a Liezi temple nearby. According to the inscription, the ancestral hall was once converted into a Buddhist temple. During the eighth year of Wanli period in Ming Dynasty (1580), when the supervisor Su visited Putian, Henan Province, he learned about this matter. On the orders of a doctor, he learned that Xu Rusheng of Zhengzhou had rebuilt the ancestral temple and set up a temple monument for Liezi.
There are 15 ancestral halls, including hard mountain hall, rolling shed, left and right compartments, hall and gatehouse. It is a rectangular courtyard with several green Robinia pseudoacacia trees in front and back. The top of the main hall is inlaid with a kiss and a vase, and the tile is decorated with a round picture. The lintels and sparrows were replaced by "Today is the day of the horse", "Lion rolling hydrangea" and flower relief. There are Amin Monument and three Qing Dynasty Monuments in front of the main hall. The main hall was destroyed in 1966, and the stone tablet was pushed down and buried underground. Now there are only hard mountain buildings such as mountain gates and verandahs, which are students' classrooms.
