Reader comments
This book gave me a deeper understanding of Confucianism and Taoism. Just like what the book says about "cultivating yourself to respect yourself", as I am about to get married, I also need to constantly cultivate myself and improve myself. The Confucian idea of "cultivating one's moral character, governing the country, bringing order to the family, and bringing peace to the world" and the Taoist idea of "quietness and inaction" may seem contradictory, but in fact they complement each other. In life, we must not only have a positive and enterprising spirit, but also have a mentality of adapting to nature. This book is like a wise man and has given me a lot of inspiration.
