Guanzi Quanjian (Collection Reading Edition)

Guan Zizhong organically combined Taoist and Legalist thoughts, not only putting forward specific plans for governing the country by law, but also paying attention to the basic role of moral education; not only emphasizing the political system with the monarch as the core, but also advocating a people-oriented approach to promote the balanced development of agriculture, industry, and commerce; he not only had a majestic strategy for hegemony, but also adhered to the kingly ideal of justice; he not only avoided the tendency of Jin Legalism to despise the moral heart, but also supplemented Confucianism's lack of practical political experience.
