The book is a collection of interpretations and commentaries on the Book of Songs, featuring various insights and anecdotes from Confucian scholars, reflecting their thoughts on ethics, governance, and the importance of moral integrity. The opening of "韓詩外傳" introduces a series of dialogues and reflections imparted by Confucius and his disciples, emphasizing the significance of personal virtue and duty within society. Key figures like Zengzi and Zigong engage in discussions related to ethical conduct, the consequences of leadership, and familial responsibilities. This portion highlights various parables and proverbs relevant to moral lessons, continually reinforcing the theme that a ruler's stability and the people's welfare are deeply intertwined with adherence to virtue and the observance of propriety in all aspects of life.
