I have now an anotated 31-page-long notebook thanks to this collection of enlightening, fruitful and eye-opening essays on the genesis and essence of Chinese civilisation. I have been briefly documenting the aspects that have stood out the most for me, so feel free to check my past reading updates.

Here is in loving memory of the honourable historian, philosopher and politician: Bān Zhāo (班昭).
