The Great Learning and The Doctrine of the Mean were originally component parts of The Book of Rites. The Confucian philosopher Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty rearranged and amended them, making them independent books. Together with the analects of Confucius, they comprise the Four Books, the most important Confucian classics which have spread far and wide as the essentials of traditional Chinese culture. The two books deal mainly with the principles and methods of self-cultivation, the education of one's family, the ruling of a state and the government of a nation. After more than a thousand years, their major ideas are still inspiring and by no means out of date. To help overseas readers understand and study Confucianism and traditional Chinese culture, Sinolingua will publish the Four Books with modern Chinese and English translations. As both are short, The Great Learning and The Doctrine of the Mean will be published together in one book.
