As the Chinese saying goes, "If an old dog barks, he gives counsel." The Chinese believe that old men, who have walked more roads, read more books, enjoyed more happiness, and endured more suffering, are experienced and knowledgeable. Thus, what they say is mostly wise counsel, and young people should listen to them. This series of sayings collects words of wisdom from some of China's greatest sages including Confucius, Mencius, Lao Zi, Zhuang Zi, and Sun Zi. Each wisdom is introduced with the original ancient text, translated explanatory Chinese notes, an English translation, and a painting. A great series to explore and learn Chinese wisdoms.
