Description

Cai Gen Tan (Vegetable Root Discourses) is one of the gems of Chinese literature that sparkled briefly on the Chinese literary scene,then became forgotten. Perhaps this was because the author, Hong Yingming, who lived about 400 years ago during the Ming Dynasty, was a reclusive figure about whom virtually nothing is known. However, the book's advocacy of a steadfast nature and a life of simplicity, goodness, quiet joy and harmony with one's fellow beings and the world at large has great relevance in an age of rapid changes. Hence its new-found appeal. Tsai Chih Chung gives the modern reader a taste of the roots of one man's uncommon wisdom. - from Amzon
