About This Novel

This book is one of many ancient Chinese books that exhort the world. It is written in the form of short, insightful and philosophical aphorisms. The diction is simple and clear, the language is concise and comprehensive, and the emotion is sincere. It is like a respected elder and a group of juniors talking eloquently around the stove, savoring life. The artistic conception is profound, philosophical and enlightening. Although many of the words in the book are mainly exhortations, they do not feel difficult and boring when reading. Instead, they feel lively and down-to-earth. They integrate what would otherwise be considered a relatively profound philosophy into daily life, making it easy for people to be infected and resonate with it. The book is divided into 221 chapters, which elaborate on the main purpose of settling down and establishing a life in the form of essays, covering many aspects of life, such as cultivating one's moral character, doing things for others, establishing oneself and establishing one's career, studying and determined, being poor and happy, helping the world and helping others, managing the family and educating children, being loyal, filial and righteous, serving as an official and governing, etc. The book shows that the author has a strong influence on Confucianism. He uses a large number of words in this book to explain the gist of "establishing morality, meritorious service, and establishing words" and reveals the profound connotation of the value of life.
