| Summary | "郁離子" by Ji Liu is a collection of philosophical writings likely written in the late 14th to early 15th century. The text provides insights into governance, ethics, and personal conduct, exploring the challenges faced by individuals in positions of power and society at large. The work utilizes allegorical stories and historical anecdotes to convey moral lessons, emphasizing the importance of virtue and the pitfalls of failure to govern wisely. The opening portion of 郁離子 introduces the philosophical underpinnings of the text, highlighted by a prologue that reflects on the role of a learned person (君子) in society. It critiques the failure of contemporary leaders to fulfill their moral duties and discusses the need for intellectual rigor and personal sacrifice in serving the greater good. The narrative begins with discussions on the qualities of leadership and the importance of wisdom, touching on stories about governance, the use of power, and the dynamics of society. Through these stories, the text suggests that understanding basic truths about human nature and governance is paramount for establishing a harmonious society.
