What if 2,500-year-old advice could help you ace job interviews, build better relationships, or even level up your TikTok etiquette? 🤔 Hu Zongfeng, president of Shaanxi Translators Association, is bringing Confucian philosophy to Gen Z through his co-translation of Great Virtues in the Chinese Tradition – and the lessons are surprisingly lit. 🔥
In one viral-worthy story, Confucius schools his son Kong Li with wisdom that slaps harder than a K-drama plot twist: 📜 "Without learning poetry, you can’t drop the perfect quote at parties." 🎤 The OG philosopher also stressed mastering rites – think of it as ancient TikTok algorithm knowledge for nailing social codes. 🧠
Here’s the tea ☕: Confucius saw poetry as the ultimate flex of cultural savvy (your Renaissance Faire meets Coachella moment), while rites were his version of LinkedIn etiquette courses. Together, they form the ultimate life-hack combo for today’s chaotic world. 🌪️✨
The book’s appearance on PAGE X – a show turning dusty classics into binge-worthy content – proves ancient wisdom can still break the internet. 📱 Which Confucian tip would you try first? Let us know! 💬
