“A minor provincial judge with one small diagram and two very short texts gave Confucianism the cosmology it had lacked for a thousand years — and insisted that sagehood is a learnable skill, not a birthright or a miracle.”

“The Confucian moral life is not a set of manners floating in a void — it is the human expression of the same living pattern that moves the whole cosmos, and anyone, by learning, can come into alignment with it.”
