Sommario/riassunto

Essays of Master Xun, authored by Yulie Lou and translated by Xiaopeng Liang and Xiaomei Yang, explores the influential thoughts of Master Xun, a prominent Chinese philosopher from the Warring States Period. Known for his significant contributions to Confucianism and Legalism, Master Xun's ideas on ritual, morality, and the nature of man have sparked debates over centuries. The book examines how his teachings impacted the social and political landscapes of the Qin and Han dynasties and how his philosophies have been perceived and



critiqued through history, particularly in comparison to other Confucian scholars like Mencius. Yulie Lou provides an extensive analysis of Master Xun's theories, emphasizing their relevance to traditional Chinese culture and their role in promoting societal stability and harmony.
