Wisdom is both the fruit of human civilization’s development and one of the forces that propel it forward.

Drawing on historical records and following the timeline from the pre-Qin period through the end of the Qing dynasty, this book collects more than six hundred examples of how people of the past used their wits and presents them as stories for readers to explore.

The figures include not only politicians and military leaders but also ordinary people from all walks of life. Their stories cover everything from governing a state to managing a household, offering a vivid display of the intelligence and resourcefulness of the Chinese people.

Reading this book can both stimulate the mind and provide an enjoyable experience.
