Features: What kind of book is Huang Ji Jing Shi? It is a book that explains all the principles of the world. The Siku Quanshu describes it as "concise in language but extensive in meaning, encompassing all the capabilities of the world." In simple terms, it is a book that advocates political ideals and focuses on the common people. Shaozi admired the achievements of China's Three Emperors and Five Kings, hence the title Huang Ji Jing Shi. Later generations interpreted "Huang" as the greatest, "Ji" as the most upright, "Jing" as the most central, and "Shi" as the most transformative. Therefore, it means managing the state and major affairs of the world through the greatest central and upright method, which is called "Huang Ji Jing Shi." Huang Ji Jing Shi is a monumental work of great scope and profound thought. Since the Song Dynasty, there have been only about ten commentaries on it, and since the reign of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty to the present day, no further interpretations have emerged. Ancient commentaries are already difficult to read, let alone the original book. The author of this book, Yan Xiuzhao, was commissioned by the Southern Master several years ago to collect the commentaries and explanations of famous scholars since the Song and Ming dynasties, to add punctuation and annotations, or to reorganize and classify them, analyze and compare them, and cross-reference them with modern policies and the essence of the original book, so that readers can achieve the effect of reading multiple books by reading one book.
