  “When the granaries are full, the people follow appropriate...” 全部笔记（1） 去书内

  I think people should treat this thought dialectically. Firstly ,I want to affirm the prescience of Guanzi's statement.He mentions the importance of the material culture's development.But what he stands is an era of lack of material civilization, it would inevitably have a limitation. Especially when we take today's life as an example, we will find that ,though today's Chinese material culture is booming, most our people are living in a well-off life;our spiritual culture is still on an unstable situation. The gap in national quality level is still too large. And we are hard to find a truly unified value orientation especially when face all kinds of cultural invasion or cultural infiltration. Maybe in other words, we today's life is still not up to the standard mentioned by Guanzi. The improvement of living standards has indeed brought people a higher spiritual pursuit, but do people pursue the standard of propriety and righteousness in this process? I'm afraid that today our people's highest value of life is different from that of ancient time. Every era has its own moral value standard, the connotation of propriety and righteousness may also become more and more different with the development of material civilization.

  “The principles of warfare are to not assemble an army during...” 全部笔记（1） 去书内

  These principles of warfare embody the thought of benevolence. What makes me surprised is that this idea could have been put forward by our ancestors before the Spring and Autumn Period,which shows us a long Chinese history of loving people.

  “Courage can serve different purposes. Some people show courage...” 全部笔记（1） 去书内

  Courage can serve different purposes. Some people show courage at the spur of momentary emotions, while others do so for the sake of a just cause. A man of virtue becomes courageous when moral principles are at stake, whereas a petty man may be courageous in order to show off momentarily in front of others. (More Writings of the Cheng Brothers)

  “Therefore the noble man said, "The style of The Spring...” 全部笔记（1） 去书内

  Therefore the noble man said, "The style of The Spring and Autumn Annals is implicit but the meaning of the book is clear; it records both events and their profound significance. It is subtle yet logical, thorough yet not verbose. It chastises evil deeds and urges people to do good deeds. Who but a sage could have compiled this?" (Zuo's Commentary on The Spring and Autumn Annals)

  “Saying simple ideas and doing practical deeds rather than...” 全部笔记（1） 去书内

  Saying simple ideas and doing practical deeds rather than following sagacity and dogma, rejecting the pursuit of selfishness and resisting the temptation of trickery and vanity: this is what revering the fundamental and dismissing the specific is about. (Wang Bi: An Outline of Laozi)

  “This concept, as opposed to "revere the fundamental and...” 全部笔记（1） 去书内

  This concept, as opposed to "revere the fundamental and dismiss the specific," originates in Wang Bi's interpretation of Laozi. The fundamental, namely, Dao, is shapeless and nameless, while the specific refers to natural shapes and names. The term "revere the fundamental and keep the specific unchanged" means giving full rein to Dao and void so that the nature emerges and stays active. Politically, this term means a sovereign should govern on the basis of Dao and do nothing that goes against nature. He should revere the fundamental to ensure that the people can lead their lives as dictated by their inherent nature.

  “A complete man refers to a person of sound moral integrity who...” 全部笔记（1） 去书内

  A complete man refers to a person of sound moral integrity who also has command of various skills that in ancient times were needed to deal with social life. In the view of the ancient Chinese, a complete man did not just mean that a man reached adulthood. It also meant that a person had acquired sound morals and the skills required to adapt to society. A complete man needed to have wisdom, courage, and self-restraint and also to have mastered the skills necessary to appropriately deal with all types of matters in life, so that his words and deeds met the requirements of moral principles and justice.

  “When the poet's inner feelings interact with the external...” 全部笔记（1） 去书内

  This insightful statement beautifully distills the core logic of traditional Chinese poetic creation. It highlights the interaction between inner emotions and external scenery, which is the fundamental driving force behind poetic writing. By linking natural emotional resonance to the urge of expression, it not only reveals the authentic origin of poetry but also reflects the time‑honored literary concept of “emotion stirred by the world” in Chinese aesthetics. The concise wording conveys profound literary philosophy, helping readers grasp the essence of how classical poetry comes into being.
