| Summary | "管子" by Zhong Guan is a classical Chinese text that serves as a political and philosophical treatise, likely written during the late Warring States period. The work presents a series of thoughts on governance, administration, and social ethics, aiming to provide a framework for rulers to maintain order and prosperity in their states. It encompasses ideas about the relationship between the ruler and the ruled, the importance of moral governance, and the role of law and order in society. The opening portion introduces foundational concepts in statecraft and communal living, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the right balance between authority and public welfare. Various principles are outlined, such as the need for benevolence in governance, the significance of moral values in society, and the necessity to avoid excesses in taxation and punishment. It stresses the idea that a well-governed state can only thrive when the government prioritizes the needs and welfare of its citizens, promotes morality, and maintains social order, thereby establishing a connection between the ruler's ethical obligations and the stability of the state.
