Professor Fei Yong commented on Yuan Liaofan's "Four Lessons from Liaofan": "Because it is written for future generations, it is extremely sincere. I try my best to teach my children all my life's experience and lessons and all my life insights, hoping that they will live a good life." The family motto left to his descendants by Yuan Liaofan, a thinker in the Ming Dynasty, is based on his lifelong learning, experience and insights, and he earnestly teaches the principle of "my fate is determined by me and not by God". Do good deeds and get good results—to persuade people to do good deeds and pursue an upright life with a worldly attitude, it can be regarded as a timeless lifestyle manual.
After Zeng Guofan read it, he was impressed by the words in the book that "everything today is like being born today", so he changed his name to "Disheng" and asked Zeng's nephews to read this book; Hu Shi regarded this book as an important masterpiece in the study of the history of medieval Chinese thought; one of the "Four Great Monks of the Republic of China" Mitsu and Koichi's masters and disciples advocated recitation; Japanese Yomei scholar Masatatsu Yasuoka believed that this book is "the great knowledge that can be used in life" and suggested that the emperor and the prime minister regard it as a "treasure book for governing the country"; Japan's "sage of management" Kazuo Inamori claimed to have gained enlightenment in life from this book.
