The Qianfu Lun (Chinese: 潛夫, Qiánfū lún, "Comments of a Recluse"), also known by its Wade-Giles romanization Ch'ien-fu Lun, is a political-metaphysical text by the Later Han philosopher Wang Fu.[1] It contains criticisms of contemporary societies, especially the power of consort clans and the growing regionalism. In the work, Wang Fu strongly supports the Confucian model of good government and humanism.
