@omarmusasatomi: Sometimes an ancient book helps us notice things about ourselves that we have overlooked for years. We want quick results, but give up on what we start. We get into arguments without knowing what we want to achieve. We live out of habit and rarely ask ourselves where our daily decisions are taking us. This carousel features five Chinese books and modern reflections inspired by them: preparation, consistency, character, change, and recognizing the influence of others. Choose one idea and try putting it into practice today: think through your next step, return to something you started, or set aside distractions for a while to focus on what matters.

Sebastian :

The proposed account correctly identifies several major texts of the Chinese classical tradition, but it conflates traditional attribution with historically demonstrable authorship. The Art of War is traditionally attributed to Sun Wu (Sun Tzu), a military figure associated with the late sixth century BCE. However, archaeological evidence from the Yinqueshan manuscripts demonstrates that the text existed by the early Han period, while the precise authorship and stages of composition remain debated. Some scholarship places substantial portions of the received text in the Warring States period rather than directly in Sun Wu's lifetime. Similarly, the Tao Te Ching is traditionally associated with Laozi (Lao Dan), but modern scholarship generally treats it as a composite text that developed through successive collections of sayings between approximately the fifth and third centuries BCE. The Analects should not be described simply as a book authored by Confucius. It is a compilation of teachings and traditions transmitted by his disciples and subsequently organised by later generations. The greatest chronological correction concerns the I Ching. Its attribution to Fu Xi is mythological rather than historically datable. The Zhouyi core is generally associated with the early first millennium BCE, while the later “Ten Wings” developed between approximately the fifth and second centuries BCE. Their attribution to Confucius belongs principally to traditional accounts. Finally, the Thirty-Six Stratagems cannot reliably be attributed to Sun Bin. The surviving compilation is considerably later, although individual stratagems draw upon much older historical traditions. Thus, these works are better understood as products of cumulative intellectual traditions rather than six individually authored books.

these are good books, many have read it and many claims they have memorize them but few can understand fully and applies them in life. if anyone can apply at least 10% of it, probably should be quite comfort in their life😅
