Qian fu lun (Chinese: 潛夫論; pinyin: Qián fū lún; Wade–Giles: Ch'ien-Fu Lun, "Comments of a Recluse") is a political-metaphysical text by the Later Han philosopher Wang Fu. It contains criticisms of contemporary societies, especially the power of consort clans and the growing regionalism. Wang Fu strongly supports the Confucian model of good government and humanism.
