Taishi Gong said: Among the kings of the world and the wise, there are many who were honored in their time but forgotten after their death. Confucius, a commoner, has been revered by scholars for over ten generations. Why? It is because the people wish to improve themselves and achieve a land of gentlemen! Since the modern era, it has been difficult to continue this culture, yet the heart of benevolence has not been lost, and the path to great unity has grown brighter. Therefore, the study of Confucianism cannot be neglected.
This book selects nearly four hundred sayings of Confucius and categorizes them into education, self-cultivation, filial piety, benevolence, loyalty, trustworthiness, ritual governance, benevolent governance, gentlemen and petty people, wealth and poverty, life and death, and spirits. This is to facilitate students both within and outside China to seek knowledge according to categories. Additionally, the common words and phrases in the sayings are explained at the end, which can help resolve doubts and questions.
