It is a discussion of world affairs and governance in the ancient context. Those who blindly belittle this book are stupid, those who actively praise this book are stupid, and it is bad to follow the methods of this book to govern contemporary people. Wise people should compare the differences between ancient and modern environments to understand the purpose of various measures in his book, so as to broaden their horizons and enhance their own strategies. When thinking, keep in mind the speaker's position, his purpose, and who he represents.
I like the contrast mentioned in the book between Guan Zhong's use of power to dominate and Ji's emphasis on agriculture and the collapse of the country. It is very enlightening. But I hate characters who only care about profit and ignore the fundamental needs of the people. This book made me think more deeply about national governance and is worth reading.
I have to read it carefully when I have time, and I don't dare to make any judgments.
Chinese studies are profound and profound. I will continue to work hard, read more and read good books...
Ancient and modern are connected. The problems that the ancients encountered are the same problems that people today are deeply involved in.
Very good, but some words are not clear in the notes.
The coverage is quite broad, and the sentences are gorgeous and rhyming.
