Xunzi Quanjian (Collection Reading Edition)

As a collection of the essence of Xunzi's thoughts throughout his life, this book is an extremely precious material for the study of pre-Qin culture and a classic of Chinese traditional culture. The book combines the original text, annotations, translations, and audio, making it not so obscure and difficult to understand. Whether it is the chapter on encouraging learning, the chapter on self-cultivation, or the following chapters, they are all very good, full of intelligent thinking and philosophical exploration. What impressed me most after reading it was that he advocated "the simultaneous application of etiquette and law"; he proposed the idea that man can conquer nature by "controlling the destiny of heaven and using it"; he opposed the superstition of ghosts and gods; he proposed the theory of human nature and evil, paid attention to the influence of customs and education on people, and emphasized the application of knowledge.

Xunzi was a native of Zhao during the Warring States Period. He served as an official and had a smooth life. Later, he lived in seclusion and took on apprentices to run a school. He began to engage in learning and collected many Confucian classics. He made great contributions to the preservation and promotion of Confucianism. He is known as the "Later Sage", which shows that his status in the Confucian school is very transcendent. There were also many celebrities among his students, such as Han Fei, Li Si, and Zhang Cang in the early Han Dynasty. Of course, Xunzi was also criticized by future generations, because of his disciples Han Fei and Li Si, this old gentleman was often criticized by future generations.

When mentioning the representatives of Confucianism, the first ones that come to mind are Confucius and Mencius. However, Xunzi is also one of the representatives of Confucianism. Although he is not as famous as Confucius and Mencius, his Confucian theory also had a significant impact on later generations. The ideas advocated by Xunzi are "eternal nature", "man is determined to conquer nature", "the theory of evil nature", and "the unity of nature and man", which conform to the laws of nature. At the same time, Xunzi's materialist thoughts reflect the improvement of people's ability to fight against nature during the Warring States Period, and have a great influence on our country's materialist thoughts in the future. In short, the core of Xunzi's ideas, classic quotes, and their impact on the world are fully expressed, which is a great cultural feast.

Xunzi in the book "Xunzi" was a supplementary school of Confucianism after Confucius and Mencius. He had a strong people-centered thought and said, "The king should be taken lightly and the people should be valued." The king must cherish the people, and only in this way can the people submit to the king. This idea played a role in the history of rulers ruling the people and was highly praised by rulers. This idea was valuable at the time and may still play a role in the future. There is a lot of discussion in Xunzi's book, and the content is profound and difficult to understand at the moment. You can only read and digest it slowly.

As a great thinker during the Warring States Period, I have always believed that Xunzi's thoughts had a profound impact on the development of ancient Chinese philosophy. The book's collection recital version gives readers the opportunity to appreciate the language charm and ideological depth of Xunzi's original work. At the same time, the book also quotes Donglizi's interpretation and annotations of Xunzi's thoughts, allowing us to better understand the essence of Xunzi's thoughts. If you want to further understand the mysteries, I think the quality of the interpretation is also crucial. It is recommended that you choose a translator and version that you trust to ensure that you can accurately understand the connotation of Xunzi's thoughts.

Xunzi's "Encouraging Learning" in his later years was very wise. This article comprehensively and profoundly systematically discussed the importance and attitude of learning, as well as the content and methods of learning, etc. It is an important theory in Xunzi. "Therefore, if you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach a thousand miles; if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't build rivers and seas. A horse can't take ten steps with one leap; a horse can ride ten steps, and the merit lies in perseverance. If you leave it with a contract, the rotten wood will not break; if you persevere, you can carve gold and stone." This famous line in the exhortation to learning is known to all women and children, which shows its far-reaching influence. Most of the ideological discussions in Xunzi's theory are simple and sincere, and they are worthy of our careful reading.

More than 2,500 years ago, Confucius founded the Confucian school and established Confucianism as a prominent school. In the more than a hundred years after the death of Confucius, the princes and heroes stood side by side one after another. The kings of each princely country had different preferences and had different standards for choosing and rejecting the theories of each school and school. This led to the glorious situation of "a hundred schools of thought contending" that flourished for a while. "Xunzi" brings together the essence of Xunzi's thoughts throughout his life and is the master of ancient Chinese thoughts. The book is divided into thirty-two chapters, and the content can be described as extensive and profound, covering many aspects such as philosophical thought, political theory, academic methods, conduct, academic debate, economy and military, etc. It is an extremely valuable material for studying pre-Qin culture. "Xunzi" is rich in content, covering many aspects of social life, and has exquisite thoughts and unique approaches. Xunzi's teachings are both original and not conservative, which reflects Xunzi's ideological system and characteristics. It has very important reference value for us to understand and study the thoughts of the pre-Qin philosophers, or to improve our own moral cultivation, conduct ourselves, and establish careers. Therefore, "Xunzi" deserves our careful reading.

This book is really good! Especially for people like me who have children, it can help us better understand ancient Chinese thoughts and culture. I like Xunzi's thoughts on human nature and morality, which are very inspiring for educating children. The annotations and translations in the book are also very accurate, making it easier for me to understand Xunzi's views. I think this book is a valuable resource for understanding pre-Qin culture and is worth reading.
