Features: A classic in the art of living passed down from Zeng Guofan to Li Hongzhang, and then from Li Hongzhang to Yuan Shikai. Gaining even a part of it can help in self-cultivation, family harmony, establishing virtue and reputation; mastering half of it can make one adept at commanding troops and subduing generals, succeeding in all endeavors; while fully understanding the entire work allows one to align with the laws of nature, achieving success in every aspect of life. – Preface to "Black and White Twenty-Four Classics"
