Synopsis

The Four Books, also known as the Four Books, refers to the collective name of these four works: The Analects of Confucius, Mencius, The Great Learning, and The Doctrine of the Mean. Zhu Xi, a famous Neo-Confucian scholar in the Southern Song Dynasty, took the two articles "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "The Great Learning" from the "Book of Rites" and wrote them into separate books. Together with "The Analects" which records Confucius' words and deeds, and "Mencius" which records Meng Ke's words and deeds, they are combined into the "Four Books". The authors of the Four Books include Confucius, Zisi, Mencius, Cheng Zi, Zhu Xi, etc., And their compilation time spans 1,800 years. After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, "Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" became official school textbooks and required reading for imperial examinations, which had a great impact on ancient education.

Thank you for your compliments on your work. My humble opinion after all the hard work and vicissitudes of life, I hope everyone will give it a five-star review. Here Zhong Ni shamelessly gave himself a score. I will definitely create more works, so stay tuned!

This book brings together the wisdom of ancient sages and is rich in content. The principles in the book can benefit people a lot, especially the elaborations on self-cultivation, family management, and country governance, which are very helpful for daily life. Moreover, the stories and characters in the book are also very interesting and worth reading.

The national laws and family precepts of the Chinese nation are contained in the Four Books and Five Classics. If a Chinese person has not read the Four Books and Five Classics, then he must consider whether he is a Chinese person.

I Personally Like This Novel Very Much.

Is the heroine invincible on the way to escape from the famine in ancient romance?

Find a Book, Find a Book

Please read a book where the heroine and the hero are exiled together and never leave each other. Their life depends entirely on the heroine. When he returns to Beijing in 3 years, the hero dislikes the heroine. The hero is a prince and likes the heroine's sister. It was serialized before and now I can't find it.
