Features: This book, through the analysis of various biographies, works, and historical evaluations, reveals the academic, cultural concepts, and ideals of Confucian scholars or those influenced by Confucianism from the late Song Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty. It explores their thoughts and actions in dealing with physical, mental, national, and moral-cultural issues, as well as the historical context that shaped their ideas and expressions. The personal manifestations of these figures and the responses they received from their contemporaries and later generations objectively reflect the contemplation, practice, and pursuit of Confucianism among scholars and literati in modern China.
