Features: The Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods over two thousand years ago were an era of great transformation. Back then, feudal lords vied for power, and the land of China was engulfed in chaos. On the surface, all evil seemed to flourish, social morality declined, and those who sought self-preservation withdrew to the mountains, while those who pursued fame and profit dominated the world. Ministers killed their rulers, sons killed their fathers—such cases were rampant. In short, that era was one of constant fear and uncertainty, with the Chinese civilization established since the Yellow Emperor in peril of collapse. Yet, there was a group of people who cared about the fate of humanity and the future of society, standing at the forefront and saying "no" to the chaos. What kind of ideal society should they build? What kind of perfect person should they be? How could an individual stand on their own in the world and achieve success? They pondered deeply and proposed various theories to save the world and help people. This was a group of individuals with independent thinking and independent personalities, who devoted themselves to practicing their ideals, even at the cost of exposing the ugliness of society and human nature. However, Confucius, Laozi, Mozi, Mencius, and other sages lived over two thousand years ago. Their thoughts and theories were colored by personal perspectives and were limited by the times. We must draw wisdom from our ancestors, inherit and carry forward the essence of our national culture, and ensure that Chinese civilization continues to thrive through innovation and reaches the world. Our publishing house has hired top domestic scholars and experts to compile this comic book series, "The Great Masters of Chinese Wisdom," in an accessible and engaging way for children. We believe that young readers will come to understand and admire these remarkable Chinese "sages" through their reading and gain inspiration for their lives and thoughts. Read the classics and become a person with cultural roots.
