What are the required books for China culture?

Five books that must be read to understand China's traditional culture are as follows:

First of all, why did I recommend this book for the first time? Because this book contains the extraordinary life wisdom of the Chinese nation, such as resignation and gentle rebirth. This book can appreciate a different world, because it is different from the knowledge learned in middle school, so it will look at the world from a different angle and see the problem from a wider angle. Dialectical thinking in the book is more prominent, such as beauty and evil, good and evil, first and last. These things are like the broken plum hand of Tianshan Mountain described by Tian Shan's grandmother in Tian Bu. The higher your internal strength, the deeper your understanding, the richer your experience and the deeper your understanding of this book. If it is handed down from generation to generation, I recommend Lou Yulie's Notes on Laozi's Moral Classics.

If it's Lao Zi, I recommend a clever collation of Lao Zi. Guodian bamboo slips are obviously not quite right in length and are not recommended. Of course, the three full editions of Zhonghua Book Company are also a good choice for getting started. All three full versions have been translated into full note and orange version. The three complete editions of Laozi are based on Wang Bi's version.

Second, The Analects of Confucius

The Analects of Confucius is a record of the words and deeds of Confucius and his disciples, not written by one person. To understand Confucius, the great mentor of the people, The Analects of Confucius is a must. The core of Confucius' thought is benevolence. Confucius mentioned benevolence in politics, education, ethics and culture, which is mainly reflected in his exposition of personal cultivation, political ideal, interpersonal communication and philosophical speculation. Confucius advocated that man should be a gentleman's personality, and then from the ethical point of view, filial piety, loyalty and forgiveness, honesty and other qualities were born. Disciples Rules is a Mongolian text, which comes from a sentence in The Analects of Confucius. Politically, Confucius was frustrated. He opposed exorbitant taxes and extortion. Mencius inherited and developed this thought, and put forward the idea of "valuing the people but neglecting the monarch". In addition, I recommend Cheng Shude in The Analects of Confucius.

Third, Zhouyi.

Fourth, Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Five, "Huangdi Neijing"
