| Summary |
"韓詩外傳, Vol. 9-10" by active 150 B.C. Ying Han is a historical collection of philosophical writings and anecdotes that belongs to the genre of classical Chinese literature. Likely written in the early Han Dynasty, the book explores themes centered on morality, the importance of filial piety, and the nature of virtue in governance. It draws from the wisdom of prominent figures such as Confucius, Mencius, and various historical anecdotes, illustrating moral lessons through dialogues and parables. This volume presents a myriad of stories that emphasize the significance of ethical behavior and the relationship between rulers and their subjects. For instance, the narratives highlight filial piety through the actions of individuals devoted to their families, and discussions on the impact of good governance vividly portray the mutual responsibilities of leaders and citizens. A prominent example includes a mother's determination to instill virtue in her son, demonstrating the values of honesty and integrity. The dialogues often contrast noble character against corruption, illustrating the profound effects that personal morality can have on society as a whole, thereby providing the reader with timeless reflections on the human experience rooted in virtue and duty.
