Features: Confucianism, represented by Confucius, can be considered as a "teaching of moral cultivation" or "self-cultivation learning." The term "teaching of moral cultivation" refers to a form of education that nurtures and completes a person's moral character. The term "self-cultivation learning" means it is a study aimed at settling and comforting a person's innate spirit. The essence of his classics lies in the self-disciplined elevation of life's "transcendental states," hence Confucius said, "To be a person for oneself, yet called by others." The high or low of these "transcendental states" depend on nothing external. The life wisdom of Confucianism lies in the conscious awareness of this "independent" personal state. This book observes Confucius's way of dealing with people and affairs based on the Analects, imbued with genuine meaning and emotion, with a fluid and expressive writing style, making it a highly readable book. It is immensely beneficial for everyone to improve their way of being human.
