Chinese Wisdom and Philosophy Through The Ages: Proverbs from the Ming Dynasty Paperback – June 28, 2021

This book is the first-ever English translation of the famous Chinese book 《增广贤文》. Its influence on Chinese-speaking people is tremendous. Every Chinese, whether young or old, knows at least a couple of proverbs and uses them in his/her daily life. These proverbs are highly likely from 《增广贤文》, though he/she does not realize that.I've learned about this book since my high school years back in 2005. At that time, we had a class for reciting Chinese classics. This book left a deep impression on me because it is much easier to memorize and of wisdom. The teachings involve how to read books, how to deal with money, how to keep in good touch with friends, how to avoid potential crises, etc. For so many years, I've kept reading it and I feel each time I read it, I will have a better understanding than the earlier and learn some new "tips and tricks" beneficial to our life.This English version is an excellent addition to the Chinese classics and is particularly suitable for children. Parents can read and explain to their children the proverbs from this book to help them learn English/Chinese and the wisdom of life.If you would like to achieve the "inner peace of the Dragon Warrior", I will also strongly recommend you this book!

Great food for thought.
