This book is written by professors and associate professors from the School of Liberal Arts of Wuhan University and Jianghan University. From the "Four Books and Five Classics" handed down from China, we select classic sayings that are widely circulated, often recited, profound in meaning and far-reaching influence, and annotate and translate them. Some sentences are also explained with a finishing touch. With this book, readers can obtain the essence of the "Four Books and Five Classics" without reading the magnificent masterpieces.
