It is said that they are called "Four Books" (also called "Four Books") because of the four representatives of early Confucianism, namely Zeng Shen, Zi Si, Confucius and Mencius. During the first year of Song Guangzong (1 190), Zhu, a famous Neo-Confucianism scholar, collected works such as The University, The Analects of Confucius, Mencius and The Doctrine of the Mean in Zhangzhou, Fujian, and published them as a set of classics.

The Han and Tang Dynasties were the Five Classics era, and the Song Dynasty was the Four Books era.
