This study reads wuwei in the Daodejing not as a lack of discrimination but as a reflective orientation that reduces purposive intervention and grasping. It examines how Han Feizi’s “Jie Lao” and “Yu Lao” reorganize this subtractive and non-grasping orientation within a ruler-centered framework of political preservation and administrative efficiency. The study uses “projection” (射影) as a restricted analytic term, identified when four conditions appear together: recognizable textual markers are preserved or explicitly substituted; the orienting criterion changes; the practical function is reassigned; and a semantic dimension of the source text is reduced or reversed. Two cases are central. In “Yu Lao” on chapter 36, the abyss and the state’s sharp instruments are identified with the ruler’s political authority and monopoly over rewards and punishments. In “Jie Lao” on chapter 59, se (嗇) is interpreted as conserving the mental and cognitive resources of the sage or governing subject. These readings preserve Laozian markers while redirecting them toward political control and the reduced visibility of the acting subject. By contrast, the Bian Que anecdote in “Yu Lao” preserves the preventive orientation of chapter 63 and is treated as illustrative reception rather than projection. The study calls the former movement “the transformation of wuwei into youwei.” It does not claim that Han Feizi simply misread Laozi; rather, it shows an internally coherent Legalist reconstruction that preserves the signs of wuwei while changing their practical direction.
