Caigen Tan is a collection of quotations on self-cultivation, social life, socialization and fertility compiled by Taoist Hong Yingming in the early Ming Dynasty. It was a rare and precious training for the past. It has an incredible subtle influence on people's cultivation and moral cultivation.
Its text is concise and clear, and it adopts both refined and popular tastes.
