Features: "Proverbs of Confucius" is compiled from rhyming proverbs and excellent literary quotations. Its content is very extensive, covering everything from etiquette and morality, to systems and institutions, as well as cultural allusions, astronomy, and geography. However, its central theme is about the philosophy of life and the way of dealing with people. Some of the proverbs and folk sayings reflect the fine traditional virtues of diligence, simplicity, and resilience that the Chinese nation has formed over thousands of years, making them valuable spiritual treasures. Examples include "A year's plan is made in spring, a day's plan is made at dawn" and "Think of the difficulty of earning a bowl of rice, even a meal of porridge; always remember the hardship of material resources." We hope you will enjoy this book.
