1 About this book
These 99 examples are as various as they are enjoyable, some fantastic, some ironic, others with morality as their aim. All are presented in clear and comfortable English. The family ethics of Confucianism appear, not as they are enshrined in the Classics, but as they are worked out in the lives of the people, and sometimes of the animals. --from publisher description.
