Summary "顔氏家訓 — Volume 03 and 04" by Zhitui Yan is an ancient Chinese philosophical and ethical text written during the Northern Qi dynasty, which is typically considered to fall within the time span of the 6th century AD. The book serves as a compilation of moral teachings and familial guidelines, aimed at instilling values such as diligence, education, and proper conduct in both personal and societal life. In these volumes, Zhitui Yan emphasizes the importance of education and lifelong learning, arguing that even the greatest rulers and wise men in history recognized the necessity of diligent study. He illustrates through various anecdotes the value of knowledge and the dangers of neglecting it, particularly in relation to one's responsibilities and societal roles. The text also addresses the balance between one's personal virtues and public duties, arguing that personal character influences both reputation and governance. Through his reflections, Yan advocates for the cultivation of not just academic knowledge but also moral integrity, as both are crucial for contributing positively to society and ensuring one's legacy.
