菜根譚前後集 by active 1596 Zicheng Hong
"菜根譚前後集" by Hong Zicheng is a collection of aphorisms written around 1590. This Ming Dynasty work combines teachings from Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism into brief, poetic reflections on life. Through parallel prose and metaphorical language, Hong addresses themes of self-cultivation, social relations, retirement, and navigating a corrupt society. The text counsels integrity in office and celebrates the joys of humble living, offering wisdom comparable to Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations." Its lessons from late
Ming Dynasty China continue to resonate across cultures today. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
