Features: The Moans of Lü is a six-volume work, with the first three volumes as the Inner Teachings and the last three as the Outer Teachings. It elaborates on seventeen aspects such as life and destiny, preserving the mind, ethics, discussing the Dao, self-cultivation, learning, worldly affairs, nourishing life, heaven and earth, the world's trends, sages and worthies, assessing characters, governance, human emotions, natural laws, extended parables, and literature. It reflects Lü Kun's observations, reflections, insights, and pursuit of wisdom about life and worldly affairs, filled with philosophical depth, genuine emotions, and an unwavering quest for truth. The writings collected in the book are not lengthy essays but mostly resemble concise, profound aphorisms. They often gently and earnestly reveal the essence of life in simple words. This book is a selection based on the 1827 edition of Lüzi Yishu from the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty, accompanied by translations and brief annotations, hoping to assist readers in deeply understanding the "moans of wisdom."
