Creative background:

During the Warring States Period, the slavery system further collapsed, the feudal system gradually formed, and history experienced epoch-making changes. Many thinkers expressed their own opinions on the social changes at that time from different standpoints and perspectives, and gradually formed different sects such as Mohism, Confucianism, Taoism and Legalism, which were historically known as "the Hundred Schools of Thought". Hundreds of schools of thought wrote books one after another to promote their own ideas and criticize others, resulting in a situation of "a hundred schools of thought contending". Xunzi was a representative figure of Confucianism in the late Warring States Period.

He believes that the existence of nature is not dependent on human will, but people can use subjective efforts to understand it, adapt to it, and use it. In order to reveal the importance of acquired learning, he wrote the article "Encouragement to Learning", which encouraged people to change bad thoughts and behaviors through learning, revitalize etiquette and justice, create laws and regulations, and practice the way of a gentleman wholeheartedly.
