The Great Learning
Brief Introduction:
The Great Learning is a prose work discussing the Confucian philosophy of self-cultivation, family regulation, state governance, and universal peace. Originally the 42nd chapter of the Book of Rites (Liji), it is traditionally attributed to Zengzi of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, though it is now recognized as a Confucian text from the Qin and Han dynasties. It stands as a vital ancient Chinese treatise on educational theory.
