Reader comments
This book written by Mr. Nan Huaijin is based on "The Great Learning", supplemented by a large number of historical facts, to slowly explain the historical development and changes of China for thousands of years, allowing readers to clearly observe the rise and fall of various dynasties in Chinese historical facts, and to understand the rise and fall of things.

The writing structure of this book written by Mr. Nan Huaijin allows people to rely on and feel stable in today's fragmented and fast-paced life. Mr. Nan Huaijin's writing structure allows us to return to the original traditional reading method. From the book, we can better understand the methods and arguments of how to live in society and cultivate one's character. It allows us to understand the changes in personnel affairs in today's fast-paced and impetuous era. We can understand that as a human being, we must be thoughtful, reverent, and refrain from doing anything before we can travel far.
The way of a university lies in being virtuous, being close to the people, and striving for perfection. Our current university is obviously not the same university as the original university, but its core is the same. As intellectuals, we need to cultivate our own morals, understand the aboveboard moral etiquette, and understand the need to get close to the people and groups. We cannot blindly fight alone, but must learn how to communicate and cooperate. Continuously cultivate your personality and character, and don't give up until you are pure and flawless.
