All Under Heaven Is for All (Part Two)
Tags
Summary
(1) Persist in critical inheritance of thought, taking the essence and discarding the dross. Neither wholly affirm nor wholly negate.
(2) Persist in abstract inheritance, deductive development, grounding in the contemporary era, and making it serve our purposes.
(3) Persist in the principle of systematic wholeness. Pay attention to distribution across historical periods; to progressive figures of all ethnic groups; to figures at all levels; and to all sides of figures. Achieve: viewing history vertically across five thousand years, forming a vertical line; viewing virtues horizontally with emphasis on practice, leaving no aspect uncovered horizontally.
(4) Persist in the principle of using the past for the present and making it serve our purposes. When excavating resources of virtue, especially excavate stories and sayings of ancient figures, and focus on finding and excavating the traditional public virtues, common virtues, and shared virtues of all classes and ethnic groups; emphasize the popular character, democratic character, progressive character, developmental character, universality, and abstractness, without seeking completeness in antiquity or completeness in individuals.
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Readers with a strong interest in the history of Chinese political thought and institutions
- Researchers or enthusiasts concerned with the modern transformation of traditional culture
- Readers hoping to deeply understand the historical connotations of concepts such as "all under heaven" and "for the common good"
- Advanced undergraduates or graduate students needing relevant scholarly materials for further reading
Not a good fit for
- Readers seeking light, popular historical storybooks
- Readers who find classical Chinese documents or academic prose difficult
Reading tips
- It is recommended to read Volume One first in order to establish a basic understanding of the origins of the idea of "all under heaven is for the common good."
- When reading, combine background knowledge of specific historical periods (such as the Song and Ming periods discussed in depth in the book) to enhance understanding.
- Pay attention to the reflective questions the author raises at the end of each chapter; they help connect historical discussion with contemporary thinking.

About the author
Yu Yongyu is an author about whom limited public information is available. It is known that the author mainly works on Chinese books in the fields of education, philosophical reading, and inspirational personal growth, with fifty-one titles held in the collection. The writing centers on moral cultivation and character development, as seen in representative works such as Respecting Teachers and Valuing Education, On Traditional Chinese Morality, Unity and Mutual Help, Maturity and Self-Confidence, Honor, Shame, Benefit and Harm, Love, Hatred, Gain and Loss, Patriotism and Serving the Country, and Being Worthy of the Name. These works often take traditional moral concepts as their starting point and connect them with everyday topics of conduct. Written in plain language, they are aimed at young readers and general readers interested in parenting and self-improvement, emphasizing value guidance rather than scholarly inquiry, and are therefore commonly classified under education, philosophical reading, and inspirational growth.
Wu Yaling has served as principal of Yucai Yikang Primary School in Wuhan since 2008. Recognized as one of China's top one hundred outstanding principals and as an advanced principal in national moral education, she is also a backbone teacher in Hubei Province, a Wuhan subject leader, and an outstanding teacher in the city. She has edited textbooks such as Role Models for national distribution, published numerous papers on education, and in 2023 released the monograph The Splendor of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Education with Central China Normal University Press. Her works address themes including respect for teachers, solidarity and mutual help, patriotism, and mature self-confidence, and are commonly classified under education, philosophy readings, parenting, and inspirational growth. They focus on character development for young people and on teachers' educational practice, combining traditional virtues with everyday teaching in plain, accessible language.
