greatest wisdom book

Chapter 1 Preface
Gorky said: "Books are the ladder of human progress." Books are the carrier of human wisdom. Philosophers integrate their thinking about time, space and life into it. Show the world with rational data.Everything about history, present, and future uses books as carriers and media.Books provide the world with a lot of knowledge that can be used for reference. People learn and practice through them to achieve their goals in life, change their mediocre lives, and even change the destiny of the entire human race.

In an ancient society with limited information, people read books to understand the thoughts of sages, and thus established their own principles of conduct.Many books have been handed down for thousands of years and are still regarded as classics, because these books contain a large number of vivid and wise stories, which have extremely important guiding significance.However, human time is limited after all, even if we spend our whole life, the books we read are just the tip of the iceberg.Therefore, people will have a choice in reading.

Modern Western scholars believe that there are three wonderful books of wisdom with eternal value in the history of human thought, namely "Book of Wisdom", "On the Monarch", and "Sun Tzu's Art of War".The reason why these three books have attracted attention is that they provide a lot of wisdom about how to conduct oneself in the world and manage politics.The ancient Greek sage Socrates left a wise saying to the world: "Life without reflection is meaningless." And these three wonderful books are precisely the deep reflection and summary of life and life, involving human nature and society. All levels, all-encompassing, wise words, profound meanings are extraordinary.

"Book of Wisdom" was written by the Jesuit priest Baltasha Gracian.Consisting of 300 proverbs and warnings, it tells the importance of prudence, self-control, morality, and diligence.This classic of dealing with the world is full of strategies of knowing people and observing things, speaking and acting, which makes people familiar with the way of prudence, gradually getting better, and marching towards perfection.

The sharp, pointed and wise language style is the biggest feature of "Book of Wisdom".People can see how unique Gracian's stern perspective is. He carefully tells people how to overcome and overcome inherent embarrassments and defects, and tells people how to deal with difficulties and evils most quickly and safely.His life motto is applicable not only to life, but also to practice.The German philosopher Schopenhauer once translated "The Book of Wisdom" into German, and praised the book as "absolutely unique".Nietzsche praised this book as the best book in Europe in terms of discussing the mysteries of morality-"Grassian's life experience shows wisdom and insight that are unparalleled today."

Another world masterpiece of the Three Wonders of Wisdom is The Prince, whose author Machiavelli is an important figure in the Italian Renaissance.After repeated political blows, Machiavelli was still keen to make contributions to the monarch, so he wrote this king's bedside book, which has received mixed reviews in the world's literary and political circles.It was banned as soon as it came out, but it became one of the best-selling masterpieces in the world in the 20s.Machiavelli's clear and practical analysis of political struggle and the way of being a king, citing a large number of examples, is astonishingly insightful.The book repeatedly stated that the monarch should follow the example of the fox and the lion, with the cunning of the fox and the bravery of the lion. It was once called the "Evil Bible".However, while being slandered, "The Prince" deeply exposes the darkness in human nature from an extraordinary perspective, sums up experience in criticism, and provides the world with a lot of wisdom in dealing with the world.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War" is one of the earliest military books in the world.It is regarded as a classic of military strategists in China, and has an immeasurable influence on the art of war of later generations. It is the earliest milestone in the history of military science development in China, and it also has an unshakable position in the military history of the world.It is the most influential temple of strategy in human history and has been translated into more than 20 languages. Military schools in many countries have listed "Sun Tzu's Art of War" as a textbook.

Although Sun Tzu focused on the art of war, his strategic thoughts and philosophical thoughts are also widely used in various fields such as politics, economy, and society among the texts of strategy and strategy.Some people even apply "Sun Tzu's Art of War" to multi-disciplinary and multi-field research, including economics, management, decision-making, forecasting, negotiation, linguistics, psychology, logic, geography, mathematics, medicine, etc. different disciplines.It can be seen that the philosophy contained in "Sun Tzu's Art of War" is unfathomable.It not only helps people open the door of diversified life and learning, but also prompts people to think deeply about real life.To this day, it serves as a necessary practical manual for people engaged in political and business life, and it is also a "strategy bible" that ordinary people must read.

These three wonderful books of wisdom are respected by the world today as literary treasures that can handle the mundane world well, and can be used as companion books in people's daily life.In the modern society where information is rapidly expanding, the importance of reading is self-evident. It is not only to broaden one's horizons, but also to enrich the limited time.And reading must read good books and fine books.
