Summary: "近思录" by Xi Zhu and Zuqian Lü is a philosophical work written in a historical context that aligns with Confucian thought, likely during the late Ming dynasty to Qing dynasty period. The text serves as a reflection on the nature of human existence, ethics, and the principles that govern societal interactions, emphasizing the vital role of virtues like benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom.

The text articulates the principles of existence and change, discussing how virtues relate to human behavior through the lens of ancient philosophical thought.
