Reader comments
This book is really good! The author's interpretation of traditional Chinese cultural classics is very detailed, which gave me a deeper understanding of the thoughts of the pre-Qin scholars. Moreover, the content in the book is combined with the historical background, making me feel as if I have traveled back to that era and communicated face to face with the sages. I particularly like the author's interpretation of the Analects, which allows me to appreciate the wisdom of Confucius in my daily life. I think this book is not only suitable for people who are interested in Chinese culture, but also for housewives like me, who can draw a lot of life wisdom from it.
It is simple and easy to understand, and it is really a good bridge to bring us closer to the work. Thanks to Teacher Yang's narration, we feel that classics are not scary and there is no sense of distance.
