CHINESE WISDOM

GUANG ZENG

To my wife, Wu Faqin, which inspires and translation assistance.

CHINESE wisdom is the Chinese translation of the libretto, Zeng Guang, and recited the classic city that has been around for about 300 years. Since it came out, it spread throughout

countries and, thus, countries where there are overseas Chinese. The scientists have been looking for fatherhood, but in vain. If you need a

Author therefore it is eclectic. ZENG GUANG is rooted in and many

impact on Chinese culture. As a mentor eloquent traveling incognito and teaches his folk lyrics that are timeless practical and instructive, which are more acceptable and more influential than words elitist Saints Confucius and Mencius, Zeng GUANG transmit wisdom, philosophy gives life . Many of his words are paradoxical and polysemic, which makes the benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom. Just the ambiguity and mysticism give the book to the ever lasting vitality. Alas, this attraction has given me problems during the translation. Here, I beg you to have the audacity to present my interpretation of this booklet Great.
