Features: The book "Complete Treatise on Zhu's Later Years" provides a relatively detailed compilation of the academic discussions between Zhu Xi and his disciples and friends in his later years, supplemented by brief comments from the compiler. It aims to demonstrate that the debate between Zhu and Lu in their later years was caused by disciples adhering to their master's teachings in a one-sided manner, rather than being a clash of fundamentally incompatible ideas. The book is named "Complete Treatise" based on Wang Yangming's "Determination of Zhu's Later Years." However, compared to "Determination of Zhu's Later Years," this book offers more comprehensive materials and more objective comments, making it a valuable reference for studying the academic thoughts of Zhu Xi and Lu Jiuyuan.
