This book is rich in content, deciphering various ancient industries such as the three religions and nine streams, which gave me a deeper understanding of traditional Chinese culture. Just like my uncle, he is very interested in Taoism. Through this book, he learned about the development history, beliefs and methods of Taoism. Moreover, the concepts mentioned in the book such as "being quiet and doing nothing, seeing things plainly" also reminded me of the need to maintain inner peace and innocence in life. All in all, this is a great book worth reading!
Learned about many professions in ancient times, from all walks of life
The introduction to the three teachings is very good and comprehensive.
