Features: "The combination of soft and hard" is the essence of ancient Chinese traditional thought on governing the mind. Successful emperors throughout history have deeply understood this principle. In the early Qing Dynasty, Kangxi was a successful example in this regard. Kangxi was a scholar-emperor in Chinese history and one of the few outstanding rulers who combined literary and martial achievements. Facing the turbulent and internally and externally troubled Qing Dynasty, Kangxi profoundly understood the truth of "softness is set, hardness is applied, weakness is heard, and strength is added, combining these four aspects to govern appropriately." With his far-sighted vision, keen insight, and extraordinary talent, he created a governance philosophy that balanced softness and hardness. Relying on this grand strategy, he propelled the Qing Dynasty towards prosperity, establishing the Kangxi Era as a significant Eastern emperor in the world. If you want to fully understand Kangxi's strategy of combining softness and hardness in governing the mind, please carefully read the 36 successful methods of governing the mind summarized in this book.
