N2  - "菜根譚" by Hong Zicheng is a collection of aphorisms written around 1590 during the Ming Dynasty. This philosophical work blends Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism to offer practical wisdom on self-cultivation, social relations, and living well. Through parallel prose and memorable metaphors, Hong addresses themes of integrity, retirement, and navigating a corrupt society. The text counsels moderation, self-awareness, and finding contentment in simple living, offering timeless lessons comparable to Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations" or La Rochefoucauld's "Maximes."
