I want to read some books about Confucian culture in China, preferably about the doctrine of the mean, which is easy to understand. The expert recommended several books.

"Four Books" should be required reading. Confucian culture headed by Confucius and Mencius in China has a long history. The Analects of Confucius and Mencius must be books of enlightenment, followed by the Book of Rites, the Book of Filial Piety, the Book of Songs and the Book of History. There should be many modern editions of these books, all with notes and annotations. You can choose Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House, Yuelu Bookstore, Zhonghua Bookstore, Sanlian Bookstore and other more formal versions to read, which should be good. Yan Jiaxun, Zhu Jiaxun, Small Window Notes, Three Hundred, Disciples' Rules, Zengguang Xianwen and Xunmeng Zengguang Xianwen are even more numerous in the market. In fact, China people have Confucian genes in their bones. As long as you have the heart, you don't need to go to them at all. Confucianism gives you a charming smile where you look back, and you wave back gracefully!
