Features: When others are excited, you can stay two degrees lower; when others are down, you can rise two degrees higher. To maintain this clear-minded attitude towards life, reading history is of utmost importance. The fool sees history as merely shouting and commenting from the outside, which is useless for current affairs; while the wise see history as more than just observing from the outside—they immerse themselves in it, using the wisdom of the past to diagnose the present era.
Highlights: Reading history for the ruler can reveal the laws of rise and fall; reading history for the official can clarify the principles of advancement and retreat; reading history for the commoner can understand the reasons for fortune and misfortune; interpreting the mysteries of rise and decline from history, teaching us the wisdom of being human.
Divided into: The Emperor Chapter, The General Chapter, The Renowned Minister Chapter.
