Features: In the leisure of political affairs, I enjoy reading Tianji's "Family Treasure" because its words are simple and clear, and its matters are deeply felt. It is not unlike a wooden bell to warn the world and a boat to benefit people. (Yanzhou Prefect Zuo Bishu said). It teaches people to do good, guides them to be upright, and presents all the most crucial and important matters in the simplest and most obvious language, allowing readers to feel delighted and enlightened, as if from a dream and as if the fog suddenly dispersed. The saying goes, "To understand the world thoroughly is good writing." This book is divided into four volumes, covering various aspects of life, such as reading and being a person, managing the family and dealing with others, seasonal fashion, customs and etiquette, as well as civil architecture, food processing, health and hygiene, and raising children. It includes everything, making it a "guide to human relationships and worldly affairs, and a method for self-cultivation and family management," a true family treasure.
