Mencius Speaks: The Cure For Chaos
Mencius Speaks: The Cure For Chaos by Tsai Chih Chung
Opens with a brief biography of Mencius, followed by vignette like topics on benevolence and profit, original heart, the importance of having a child as a filial duty, the difference between saving one's sister-in-law from drowning by touching her (expediency over propiety) and not saving the kingdom by expediency, which doesn't work, and more.
