Epilogue 420

The Analects of Confucius are something you absolutely must read at least once!
Easy to read, selecting only the words that modern people need

The Analects of Confucius is a world-class classic containing 2,500 years of wisdom.
However, it is not easy for busy modern people to read a whole volume of the Analects.
『Pilhyangmanri』 organizes the words that can only be applied to ancient times from the Analects and carefully selects words that are essential for modern people, explaining them in an easy-to-understand manner.
It could be said to be a modern guide to the Analects of Confucius, carefully selected so that it can be read sufficiently even without knowing Chinese characters or having much prior knowledge of Eastern thought.
In fact, people don't need that many words to live.
A few heart-wrenching words can become lifelong lessons, and you can live your own life by constantly thinking about and practicing them.
However, we, who live in modern times, are caught up in short-term stimulation, feel anxious, and live in a state of constant busyness, unable to find the true words that can help us find our center.
For these modern people, 『Pilhyangmanri』 conveys the Analects, which contains the words of Confucius, along with the fragrance of the writing.
This book has a unique structure, with commentary and calligraphy placed side by side, leading readers to go beyond simply 'reading' letters and appreciate the flow of each stroke and the texture of ink.
The scent of the pen leads to savoring, and savoring leads to contemplation, providing modern people with anxious minds with a sense of stability and comfortable rest after contemplation.
In the special volume, “Pilhyangmanri Pilsa Notes,” the author not only provides guidance on the meaning and style of transcription, but also includes 200 of the works included in the main volume.
The scent of food and the spirit of the classics will gently permeate the reader.


An age-old way to calm your mind in anxious times:
Whether with a brush or a pen, the moment I write a line, my mind becomes calm.

We live in an age where it's easy to lose focus amidst the constant waves of information and emotions.
Even the ancients had times when their centers were shaken.
At times like that, I picked up a brush and wrote.
When you focus your mind on the tip of the brush, you will reach a level of concentration and immersion that is stronger than when you thread a needle.
The writing done with such concentration and immersion resembles the person exactly.
That is why there has been a saying since ancient times, “The handwriting reflects the person.”
It is not easy for busy modern people to hold a brush like people of old.
The reason why handwriting has become so popular recently is that, although it is not as effective as a brush, if you write with a ballpoint pen, fountain pen, or pencil, you will eventually reach a state of concentration and immersion, which will lead to peace and tranquility of mind.
It would be even better if you could use a famous quote from the Analects.
『Pilhyangmanri』 is a guidebook that leads to concentration, immersion, tranquility, meditation, and peace, and will become a book that ‘rules that person.’
