Capítulo 26: The Origin of Cultivation
If Lizi noticed their reddened eyes, the bright maidservant never mentioned it. Instead, she presented the books the master requested in a timely fashion.
"These are the books you requested," she placed the Doctrine of the Mean and dictionary on one side of the table and another heap beside it. "These are some books I thought the master and young miss might need."
Nodding, Mingfeng thanked Lizi and had her fetch his writing materials from the study. At the mention of writing, Anji seized the opportunity to broach a subject that had long been on her mind.
"Father, is it possible to make a smaller brush? I can write, but Brother Mingshen's brushes are too big for me. There is always ink on my sleeve. I feel bad when Lizi has to clean them…"
Agreeing to gift his daughter with a customised brush set, Mingfeng finally started the lessons.
"Let's review what you've learned before lunch," Mingfeng smiled. "Could you read this paragraph?"

Destiny_Aitsuji I'm referencing the Doctrine of the Mean to the children's version of it known as the Three Character Classic (san zi jing). All these books are under Chinese Philosophy, and they have been lost in translation over the years, with the exception of excerpts that scholars use for literature interpretation. Although the quote is translated, I cannot guarantee its accuracy. However, I can confirm that these are still practised today as a "way of life" or teaching, similar to how some households practise religion rituals.
