Features: The Liji is one of the foundational texts of Chinese culture. For thousands of years, it has shaped the character of our nation with its profound philosophical depth, providing us with universally meaningful values, ethics, morals, and perspectives on life. It has endowed us with artistic language, ritualized behavior, harmonious and cohesive environments, and a confident and grand demeanor. It has also shown us a path to elevate personal dignity, realize self-worth, live a composed life, and find a sense of belonging for the soul. Thus, throughout history, especially in modern times, despite praise and criticism, it has still been recognized as valuable for national cohesion, national rejuvenation, and personal character refinement. For this reason, our publishing house has invited the author, Mr. Zhou Chuncai, to carefully select and interpret content from the Liji that has had a significant impact on Chinese history or is closely related to modern life. By employing an approach that readers readily accept and fully leveraging the expressive power of comics, we have made the complex accessible and the heavy seem light. This provides readers with a gateway to understanding the traditional morals and culture of our nation.
