Features: I named this book "The Young Master," playing on an idiom. "Young" refers to oneself, and you and I are all descendants of the sages. "Sage" refers to the sages, and "young" here is used as a verb. The whole meaning is that we, these latercomers, can make the great predecessors the sages smaller, bringing them to the same level as us, enabling equal dialogue. — Bao Pengshan
Is the uniqueness of Confucius's head a hint that he bears the sweet dew and sunlight of heaven and earth? In the distant historical starry sky, the names of the pre-Qin sages—Laozi, Confucius, Mencius, Mozi, Zhuangzi, and Han Feizi—have always shone with mysterious and profound brilliance. Now, with the rigorous research and exquisite writing of the author of this book, we can more easily approach these brilliant stars and interpret their wisdom and thoughts.
Is Laozi's philosophy a "cultural opium"? Confucius is truly worthy of being called the "son of humanity." Why did Mozi dare to become a "rebel who offends the heavens"? And Zhuangzi, it turns out, is a "tree that guards the moon."
The starry sky is not far away. And we have always been gazing at it.
