Zhang Juzhengzheng Explains "The Analects", "Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean"

When it comes to Zhang Juzheng, it can be said that everyone knows it. As the most famous, most powerful and legendary chief minister of the cabinet in the Ming Dynasty, his knowledge is not small. This book is the third of the four most famous Chinese books he interpreted. Many of these understandings are very subtle and may be different from many annotations and interpretations currently circulating in the market, but the ideas and ideas in them are indeed very novel and worth learning. This classic ancient book is definitely worth reading.

Zhang Juzheng has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child. Later, he became the first assistant and held the position of a very popular minister. He was first-class in terms of intelligence and experience. This direct interpretation of the Four Books was his teaching material for educating the young emperor Wanli. While reading, I felt as if I was communicating with Zhang Juzheng about The Analects across time and space. I was impressed by Zhang Shoufu's talents and his hard work. He must have been sincere in writing this book for his son Emperor. It shows how much effort he put into such a simple and clear interpretation. I'm curious as to how the old man, Izumi Izhi, would feel if he saw that the emperor he devoted all his efforts to cultivate treated his descendants with extreme cruelty.

Chinese parents attach great importance to their children's education. For their children's education, they not only spend a lot of money to send them to cram schools, but also spend a lot of time to lead them to learn ancient Chinese culture. The Four Books and Five Classics are required readings for children, and this has not changed since ancient times. In these classic works, we see that they are crucial to the development of children's worldview and the teaching of values, and are even crucial to children's moral conduct, which shows their great influence.

You must read the Holy Scriptures

Explain the profound things in a simple way, concisely and clearly. A little serious like an old master, Zhang Shoufu teaches the ten-year-old emperor in this way, which is all right, but there are not many examples to support it, so it is lost in humor?

This book is well written, comprehensive and easy to understand. I like it.

Even though the writing time of the Four Books is getting further and further away from us, the Confucian thoughts contained in it are still of great significance to contemporary society and are worthy of study and pursuit by generations of us. And this book is a good helper for us to study the four books in depth. In our understanding of some classical Chinese texts, we will inevitably have deviations in meaning. Zhang Juzheng made a straightforward translation of the Four Books and added a richer understanding. This plain and easy-to-understand writing style not only helps modern readers understand and remember the Four Books, but is also more conducive to the dissemination of the philosophy contained in the Four Books.
