Description

The Book of Chinese Proverbs collects over 1000 of the most profound and illuminating proverbs--both ancient and modern--from China and its people.

From Confucius to Laozi to Sun Tzu, numerous Chinese philosophers and their teachings have influenced Chinese culture, but permeated in many different parts of the world. The Book of Chinese Proverbs features over 1000 of the greatest ones, organized to be accessible and informative for today's audience and giving more insights to China and its rich culture.
