Features: Confucianism, with The Analects as its highest classic, has not only had a profound influence on China but also extended to other parts of Asia and even Western countries. Some Western scholars once predicted: "If humanity is to survive in the 21st century, it must seek wisdom from Confucius." This shows that Confucianism, with The Analects as its highest classic, has not only had a profound influence on China but also this influence has reached other parts of Asia and even Western countries. Confucius's thoughts are primarily reflected in The Analects. When standing at the forefront of history, certain ideas in The Analects have always demonstrated foresight, and their charm is worldwide. This book, based on The Analects, uses Confucius's positive and engaged attitude of "self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the state, and bringing peace to the world" to observe and study the "self-cultivation" that Confucius left us, and to explore the ways of being a person and achieving success. Therefore, whether viewed from the perspective of the "greater self" or the "lesser self," it is a rare and readable book. It is believed that it will certainly meet the needs of a broad readership.
