Features: Do you remember the stories of Yu Gong moving mountains and Kuafu chasing the sun that your grandfather used to tell us? Do you recall the tales of the 108 heroes of Liangshan and the stories about Li Bai and Du Fu that your father once enthusiastically shared? Do you still recall the joy of holding a comic book as a child? Those classic stories that accompanied our growth have unknowingly been abandoned in some unnoticed corner, and we haven’t revisited them even once. But what have we truly lost? Old Stories, New Wisdom collects hundreds of stories from ancient and modern times, spanning 18 categories such as idioms, fables, wars, social conduct, friendship, parenting, and management. Among these, ancient stories dominate, making the term "old stories" entirely appropriate. In terms of structure, the book not only narrates the stories but also includes two engaging sections: an introductory preface and "New Wisdom," guiding you into a beautiful and enduring philosophical world.
