Features: At the end of each Confucian saying in this book, there are over 100 sayings from Mencius. Additionally, several sayings from Laozi and Zhuangzi are interspersed throughout the main text. The characteristics of the four great ancient Chinese thinkers are all embodied in one book: Laozi's Yin-Yang subtlety, Zhuangzi's carefree optimism, Confucius's earnestness and respect for ritual, and Mencius's worldly wisdom and persuasive argumentation. This is referred to as "mutual manifestation" in terms of reading methods.
