"Moaning Language" is a collection of quotations and proverbs written by the famous scholar Lv Kun (1536-1618) in the late Ming Dynasty. It was published in 1593 (the 21st year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty), when Lv Kun was the governor of Taiyuan, Shanxi. "Moaning Language" is a work written by Lu Kunji for thirty years. He said in the original preface: "Moaning is the sound of illness, and moaning is the language of pain during illness." Therefore, it is named after "Moaning Language". The book is divided into six volumes. The first three volumes are internal chapters and the last three volumes are external chapters. There are about hundreds of quotations and notes with profound meaning and philosophy. "Moaning Language" is Lu Kun's masterpiece. The book is based on Confucianism and actively applies to the world. It is about governing the country and self-cultivation, and dealing with things in response to things. It is concise and comprehensive, insightful and subtle, and has a great influence. Yin Huiyi said: "The physics of human emotions and the analysis of internal and external public and private affairs are so painful that they make people think deeply at the moment. They ridicule the magic needle for bone-piercing and the bitter taste of medicine." Shen Hanguang said: "You must read it often." Some modern scholars praised it as: "A rare guide book in ancient and modern times for self-cultivation, family management, country governance and world peace."
