Translation for Traditional Chinese Wisdom
1. The Book of Changes reveals that when things reach their extreme, change occurs. After the change they evolve smoothly, and thus they continue for a long time. That’s how “Heaven bestows help to the human world and benefits all.”
(The Book of Changes)
2. “If we can improve ourselves in one day, we should do so every day, and keep building on improvement,” reads the inscription on the bathtub of Tang, founder of the Shang Dynasty. “People should be encouraged to discard the old and embrace the new, give up evil ideas, and live up to high moral standards,” says The Book of History. “Though it was an ancient state, Zhou saw its future lying in continuously renewing itself,” comments The Book of Songs. Therefore, junzi (men of virtue) should strive to excel themselves in all aspects and at all times.
(The Book of Rites)
