Summary: "大學章句" by Xi Zhu is a philosophical treatise that explores Confucian principles, written during the Song Dynasty, which spans roughly from the 10th to the 13th century. This work is regarded as a significant text in the study of Confucianism, serving as an educational guide for moral and ethical conduct, addressing personal development, familial relations, governance, and societal harmony.
