Features: The Theory of Following Life is a work by Zhang Zhongxing, a renowned expert in literature and history and a cultural elder, on the philosophy of life. In the book, the author replaces the ancient concept of "following one's nature" with "following life," elaborating on his various insights into how one should live well. At nearly a century old, this cultural elder uses his rich life experience and profound humanistic knowledge to organize the many aspects of life into sixty questions across three categories. From the perspectives of bridging the ancient and modern and comparing China and the world, he analyzes them meticulously, tracing back to their origins, and narrates them in a literary, conversational style. This makes the entire book a profound exploration that connects theory with practice and history with reality, opening minds and broadening horizons. The book was first published in September 1993 by the Chinese Social Sciences Press. For this reedition, references for quoted passages and a few notes have been added to facilitate readers' understanding.
