Features: This is the new complete edition! This is the best-selling, enduring authoritative classic version! Li Zongwu is from Fushun, Sichuan. His original name was Shiquan, which was changed to Shikai upon entering school, with the character Zongru meaning "to follow Confucianism." At the age of 25, his thoughts underwent a major transformation, and he believed it was better to follow his own path rather than Confucianism or Confucius and Mencius. He then changed his name to Zongwu. In his early years, he joined the Tongmenghui and dedicated himself to education for a long time, serving as a middle school principal, provincial legislator, deputy director of the provincial education department, and inspector. He was upright, clever, and rigorous in his studies. Over the decades, he witnessed the ups and downs of life and the fluctuations of officialdom, leading him to write this book with the pen name "Duzun," meaning "the only one supreme in heaven and earth." From then on, he took the title of "Master of the Thick-Nosed, Black-Faced School" and established his own school of thought, the "Thick-Nosed, Black-Faced School," later being hailed as one of the "Top Ten Eccentric and Extraordinary Talents Who Influenced the 20th Century in China."
