| Summary | This work, divided into three treatises, is properly not a translation of a classic but an anthology of Chinese classical passages and their neo-Confucian commentaries ordered to explain Chinese metaphysics (Treatise 1), ritual (Treatise 2) and ethics (Treatise 3) as compatible with Christian doctrine. |
