"The Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" are no longer just books used for imperial examinations in the simple sense. They have become the essence of traditional Chinese humanistic cultivation. Every word and deed in them is still of practical significance in the eyes of modern people. As a product of society, people are not isolated entities. They are in relationships with others all the time. Dealing with these relationships and seeking harmony between people is the general trend of modern society. Therefore, occasionally reading some traditional classics is of great significance to modern people.
Reader comments
This book interprets "University" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" in an easy-to-understand way, which has benefited entrepreneurs like me a lot. Many of the views in the book, such as "cultivating oneself, managing one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world", still have strong guiding significance today. Just like what is said in the book, "A gentleman lives in easy places to wait for his fate, and a villain takes risks to gain luck." When we start a business, we must be down-to-earth and not just think about taking shortcuts. All in all, highly recommended!
