Background of the Book: 

Mankind had an important miracle two thousand five hundred years ago: All outstanding masters of thought and all classic cultural masterpieces appeared on this earth almost simultaneously. When ancient Greek philosophers were thinking on the Aegean Sea, Indian philosophers were thinking on the banks of the Ganges, and Chinese philosophers were thinking on the banks of the Yellow River. They are all thinking, but the subject of thinking is different. For an example, ancient Greek philosophers mainly thought about the relationship between man and nature, ancient Indian philosophers mainly thought about the relationship between man and the God, and ancient Chinese philosophers thought about the relationship between man and man. They appeared almost at the same time. The specific time is about the fifth century BC. This is known as the axis age of human civilization. China's Lao Tzu, Sun Tzu, and Confucius were all born in this period. Lao Tzu’s work is "The Classic of Virtue", Confucius’s work is "The Analects", and Sun Tzu’s work is "The Art of War". Together with the "Book of Changes", these four books are regarded as representatives of Chinese wisdom and classics among Chinese classics.
