Zhang Juzheng's Commentary on "Shangshu" (New Edition)

"Zhang Juzheng is well aware of the changes of the times and has the courage to take charge of his affairs. In the early days of Shenzong's administration, he rose and fell, and he was vigorous and prosperous. It can be said that he had to rely on his talents to help him." ——"History of the Ming Dynasty·The Biography of Zhang Juzheng" Emperor Kangxi: "The sermons should be precise and clear, and should not be reproduced. I read Zhang Juzheng's "Shangshu, Four Books Direct Interpretation" together. The meanings are all precise and there are no generalized words. It can be regarded as a method." ——"Manuscript of the History of the Qing Dynasty: The Second Book of the Holy Ancestor" "Shangshu", also known as "The Book of Books", is a representative work of Chinese traditional culture. The original name of this book is "Shu Jing Zhi Jie", which is a lecture given by Zhang Juzheng, a famous politician in the Ming Dynasty and a great scholar during the Wanli period, explaining "Shang Shu" to the emperor. Zhang Juzheng not only explained each classic text word by word and explained it sentence by sentence, but also extended the classic text to real politics and educated the emperor on the art of governance. The whole book is written in the vernacular of the Ming Dynasty. It is easy to understand and explains the profound things in a simple way. It is a good introductory book on Chinese studies. The compiler made new punctuation marks on the original text and Zhang Juzheng's comments, and added annotations and translations for the convenience of traditional culture enthusiasts.
