Content introduction:

This is a collection of fables and fairy tales to conquer the world.

As many people know, the Bible has been translated into the most foreign languages in the world, and the books beside it are a collection of fables and fairy tales written in Sanskrit. But when it comes to the influence of the Five Classics, Mr. Ji Xianlin said, I'm afraid even the Bible will rank second.

Five books with different versions have traveled all over the world, and the five books translated by Mr. Ji Xianlin are the only Chinese full-text translations. Since it was out of print in the early 1950s, it has been put on the market again after more than half a century, and its preciousness is self-evident.

There is also a story about the formation of the Five Classics: a king in India had three sons, who were stupid as hell, "had no interest in Confucian classics and lacked wisdom", and a brahmin who was "proficient in many things and enjoyed a good reputation" wrote the Five Classics and taught three princes to govern the country in six months. Since then, "five books" have been used to educate young people on the earth.

The five-volume book is divided into five volumes: the breakup of friends, the harvest of friends, crows and owls engaged in peace and war, etc. Losing what they have, walking without thinking. As a must-read for Indian princes, it is a veritable treasure house of wisdom, full of self-cultivation, family harmony, rules of governing the country, wisdom of being a man, wisdom of making friends, and philosophical aphorisms. For example:

No matter how trivial, many things add up to ensure victory.

You can make a rope out of some grass, and even elephants can be tied up with this rope.

If someone doesn't destroy the enemy and the disease when the disease is first discovered,

Even if he is good, he (she) will be knocked down when he (she) grows up.

A person is valued or despised in the world,

Depends on his actions, on himself.

How can a capable person have too heavy a burden?

How far is it from those who are determined?

A capable person uses his skills to gain fame. What does it matter if he was born?

……

So many.

This five-volume book is not only used to educate Indian princes on the strategy of governing the country and keeping the country safe, but also won the love of ordinary people because of its interesting content and was used to learn how to be a man.

Although The Five Classics was written nearly two thousand years ago, when we open this book, we find that the philosophy contained in these fables can be said to be the condensation of human wisdom, and each sentence is as close to the present as possible. When we have to admire the wisdom of the ancients, we will also feel that the world and time are just a circle, constantly repeating, constantly making mistakes and constantly correcting mistakes. I don't know if director Ang Lee has read five books, but when he talked about The Fantasy Drifting of Pi, he also highly praised the Indian story: "Indian story is the best. Both Christianity and Buddhism lost to it. "

I hope that after reading five books, I can have more wisdom in my life and take fewer detours.
