Creative background:

This book is a collection of proverbs and aphorisms about the people compiled by Zhou.

A certain culture is a reflection of a certain social, political and economic ideology, and it's no exception to enrich the literary works. Due to the limitations of the times and history, it will inevitably bear the imprint of that era. Many contents reflect feudal ethics, even with obvious feudal superstition and fatalism.

Part of the content is individual-centered, which reflects the selfish thoughts that existed universally at that time; Some of them reflect the ordinary citizens' mentality of muddling along, being timid, and keeping their own place, as well as their negative life philosophy of avoiding disasters and being tired of the world under the social system at that time and even today.

Some of them were correct reflections of social phenomena at that time, but they have lost the significance of reference today; There are also some contents that are vague or have only one-sided truth, and if they are not understood correctly, they will become mistakes.

These are not in line with the spirit of the times. We should adopt a critical attitude when reading, carefully examine the sublation, criticize the inheritance, absorb its nutrients, and make the past serve the present.
