Names of excellent cultural and traditional books

I don't know whether you want China's works or foreign ones. The works of China, such as the Nine Scholars and Hundred Schools in the Pre-Qin Dynasty, are all ideological. For example, Taoism says, "The Tao gives birth to one, one life to two, two lives to three, and three lives to everything." Sun Tzu's Art of War is worth studying.

There is also the classic Four Great Classical Novels, which is an excellent traditional book in China. As for novels, Jin Yong and Gu Long are both good authors. They have many books, so you can read them slowly. If you don't like martial arts, you can read some books by Lu Xun and Hu Shi. Although they are old, they still have traditional culture. If you are interested in history, you can look at Historical Records, History of the Three Kingdoms, History of the Later Han Dynasty, History as a Mirror and so on. Others, such as Disciple Rules and San Zi Jing, I guess you have already read them. If not, take a look and learn about the etiquette at that time.

I don't know much about foreign countries I only know a comparison between Chinese and western traditional cultures. It doesn't hurt to read it. It is a pastime, hehe.
