Overview

This concise collection contains English translation of 50 Chinese proverbs, 40 extracted verses from the Classic of Poetry (Shi Jing), 30 Chinese couplets, and four Chinese poems on four cardinal vices in life. It aims for cultural understanding and exchange and to let Chinese wisdom pass down to newer generations so that people can find something valuable and benefit from them, as the Chinese saying suggests: "The benevolent see benevolence, and the wise see wisdom." This bilingual edition with original Chinese texts and modern pinyin pronunciation will assist Western readers to learn the Chinese language, while the English translation will help non-Chinese readers better understand the deeper meanings of these phrases.
