Preface<\/strong>
\nAt the beginning of the Zhenguan Era, Emperor Taizong (599-649) of the \nTang dynasty decreed that Qunshu Zhiyao (The Compilation of Books and \nWritings on the Important Governing Principles) be compiled. At the \ntender age of sixteen, Taizong enlisted himself in the army, and joined \nhis father\u2019s forces to try to stop the turmoil that was going on in the \nsociety. For more than ten years, he dwelt himself in military matters. \nAfter he ascended to the throne at the age of twenty-seven, he laid down\n his armor and began to promote culture and education, paying particular\n attention to the principles of governing, and bringing peace to the \ncountry. He sought to rejuvenate the nation from the aftermath of civil \nstrife by restoring order to life, lessening the burdens of ordinary \npeople, and increasing prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Taizong was an intelligent, brave, and eloquent man, he \nregretted that his earlier military expeditions had prevented him from \nobtaining much formal education. He also learned from the mistakes made \nby the fallen Sui dynasty and realized that to start a new dynasty was \nno easy task, and to sustain it would be even harder. Hence during his \nreign, he encouraged his ministers to point out his mistakes and to \ncandidly criticize his imperial policies. To make up for lost time, \nTaizong ordered two advisors, the honorable Wei Zheng and Yu Shinan, to \ncomb through all the historical records on imperial governing principles\n from the Six Classics, the Four Collections of History and the Hundreds\n of Schools , and to extract the most important lessons related to the \ncultivation of oneself, management of family, good government, and ways \nto bring about peace in the world. The result was a collection, titled \nQunshu Zhiyao, carefully excerptedfrom 14,000 books and 89,000 scrolls \nof ancient writings\u2014500,000 words in all, and covering sixty-five book \ncategories\u2014dating from the era of the Five Legendary Emperors to the Jin\n dynasty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This truly is a treasured compilation on governing principles that \ncan bring about peace and order, which \u201cwhen used in the present, allows\n us to examine and learn from our ancient history; when passed down to \nour descendants, will help them learn valuable lessons in life.\u201d Those \nwere the words written by Advisor Wei Zheng in the preface of the \ncompleted compilation. Emperor Taizong was extremely pleased with the \nbroad yet concise compilation and would not let the books out of his \nsight. He said: \u201cThe collection has helped me learn from the ancients. \nWhen confronted with issues, I am very certain of knowing what to do. \nThis is all due to your efforts, my advisors.\u201d From here we can see that\n the subsequent peace and prosperity of the Zhenguan Era was attributed \ngreatly to this compilation! This treasure is truly a must-read for all \npoliticians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, by the beginning of the Song dynasty, Qunshu Zhiyao \ndisappeared from circulation. This is due to the fact that Chinese \nwoodblock printing was not well developed at that time. The History of \nSong also did not show any record of this compilation. Fortunately, the \nJapanese Kanazawa Bunko museum collection had a complete manuscript \nhand-copied by Japanese monks during the Kamakura period (1192-1330). \nThe Japanese returned the books to China in the 60th year of the reign \nof Emperor Qianlong, and they became the master copy for the Four Series\n Books published by the Commercial Press (Shanghai) as well as \npublications used by Taiwan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of 2010, I was fortunate to obtain a copy of Qunshu \nZhiyao. I read the work repeatedly, and I was filled with immense joy \nthat eternal stability and peace to the entire world can be brought \nabout by the cultural teachings of our ancient saints and sages. I \ndeeply feel this is so. The most important thing is that the Chinese \npeople themselves must truly comprehend and embrace this traditional \nculture, to stop doubting and start believing. The teachings of the \nsaints and sages constitute an embodiment of the true self-nature of all\n beings that transcends time and space. Even now, they still hold true. \nThe key learning point hinges on two words \u201csincerity and respect.\u201d The \narticle \u201cSummary of the Rules of Propriety\u201d says: \u201cAlways and in \neverything let there be reverence.\u201d Emperor Kangxi of the Qing dynasty \nsaid: \u201cWhen a ruler interacts with his people, the element of respect is\n fundamental.\u201d He also said: \u201cAll the teachings that have been passed \ndown through thousands of years is no more than sincerity and respect.\u201d \nThe prominent Song scholar Chengzi said: \u201cRespect triumphs over all \nevils.\u201d These sayings illuminate the fact that in order to cultivate \nourselves, advance our virtues, help people, and benefit the world, only\n sincerity and respect can enable us to perfectly achieve these. If we \nlack respect and sincerity toward the teachings of ancient sages and \nvirtuous emperors, little benefit will be gained even if we had read the\n ancient texts extensively. Confucius stressed that he only cited the \nteachings of others and did not create his own. He believed in and loved\n the teachings of the ancients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
