  <abstract>This is the first book written by Chinese scholars with more accurate interpretation of Master Xun’s philosophy and quoted texts from other Chinese classics. Master Xun is one of the greatest Confucian philosophers of the classical period in China. His thought has been exercising a profound impact on ideology, academic research, social and political system, ritual and moral principles, as well as the practical aspects of personal self-cultivation, education and learning. After reading the book, the readers will understand thoroughly the ancient Chinese philosophy.</abstract>
