Features: Confucian culture, as the orthodox and mainstream of traditional Chinese culture, has thrived for thousands of years, remaining unbroken and has profoundly influenced the social structure and ethical and moral concepts of the Chinese nation. In judging the value of life, Confucianism holds a very important standard: whether a person has made achievements in the three aspects of establishing virtue, establishing merit, and establishing words. If they have, it means they have achieved "three immortalities" in their lifetime; otherwise, they are considered to have accomplished nothing and wasted their lives. To help readers understand the essence of the aphorisms and maxims of Confucian sages, appreciate the extraordinary words and wisdom of scholars across generations, and absorb the ideological essence of the admonitions of Chinese virtuous and dedicated people, the "editors" have carefully selected and compiled this series of "Confucian Treasury" from the vast ancient classics. It includes both Confucian classics and the sayings of renowned sages; both heartening essays and mountain hermit's notes. "We hope that through reading this series of small books, readers can meet the souls of the sages of ages past and find the life motto they will follow throughout their lives!"
