Summary "新序" by Xiang Liu is a historical text written in the early 1st millennium. The work delves into the virtues of filial piety and loyalty through a series of anecdotes about various historical figures, illustrating moral and ethical lessons relevant to governance and personal conduct in ancient Chinese society. At the start of the book, the author recounts stories that emphasize the importance of filial piety, loyalty, and the wise governance of rulers.
