Chinese philosopher's name! HELP!!!

Factual Questions

PLEASE HELP!!! I need to know how to spell a particular Taoist’s name. The book is at home, but I have to finish this letter to my professor by the end of the day.

In class, the name was pronounced “shwan za” . The only parable from his work that I can remember off the top of my head was the story of the butcher - asked why he was so skilled, he explained that it wasn’t sharp knives or great training, he just moved the blade where the meat wasn’t, and it fell from the bone. And there was a chapter on music, why it is so bad. Or was it good? Ling Po said it was bad, no? Anyway, I am getting more confused than I need to be at the moment. Does this strike a chord with anyone? I seem to think that the name is spelled Chuan Tzu, or some variation of that. I am writing back about a recommendation, so it would be a Very Bad Thing to misspell his name. Can anyone help?! Anyone? Desperate here…
Thanks!

Google brought me to this site. It’s Chuang Tzu. You were close.

Whoa… sorry to bother everyone with my panic. Just plugged “Taoist butcher Chinese parable” into Google, and lo - there was my answer. Chaung-Tzu. Sorry to clog up the boards, please feel free to close this if no one has anything to add. Again, I’m sorry to have wasted the bandwidth.

Be aware that in pinyin, his name is spelled “Zhuangzi”

His most famous story is the one about the butterfly (was he a philosopher dreaming about being a butterfly, or is he now a butterfly dreaming about being a philosopher?).

You gave Google “Taoist butcher Chinese parable” and it hit! Damn, but that’s impressive!

So you figure “Fishes” and “bread” will be Fish McSandwich or the Sermon on the Mount?
