Translation for Traditional Chinese Wisdom
1. To ensure the growth of a tree, one must firmly establish its roots; to extend the reach of water, one must unblock its source. Excellent traditional Chinese culture serves as the spiritual lifeline of the Chinese nation. It is a vital source that nurtures the core socialist values, and it forms a solid foundation for us to stand firm amidst the dynamic currents of world culture.
（Ten Recommendations to Emperor Taizong of Tang）
2. A wise ruler governs the country with culture and virtue as the first means and then force. Whenever force is used, it is because of the presence of disobedient people. Force is only used when cultural education （wenhua) fails.
（Garden of Stories）
3. The visionary world achieved in literary works serves as a better criterion for making critical evaluation than one’s personal character or charm. The visionary world is primary, whereas one’s personal character and charm are secondary. Once the visionary world is reached, personal character and charm will naturally follow.
（Poetic Remarks in the Human World）
