Imperial Admonitions for Officials, one volume, written by Zhu Zhanji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Zhanji, the fifth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, reigned for ten years and was named Xuande. His deeds are detailed in the history. There are thirty-five chapters in the Official Proverbs, with the sacred edicts and catalog listed in the front, and the Imperial Records of Guanghan Palace in the back. The edict said: "Every official at home and abroad will write an article to expose all the affairs of the office and read them day and night, so that the common people may be warned."

Reader comments
This "Official Proverbs for the Imperial Guard" was written by Zhu Zhanji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty. The book expresses his expectations and requirements for officials through thirty-five official proverbs. I think this kind of teaching conveyed in the form of proverbs is very meaningful and can allow officials to remind themselves at all times in their daily work. However, I don't like some of the overly serious statements in the book, which feel a bit cold. But overall, this is a book worth reading, especially for those interested in Ming Dynasty history and politics.
