As the saying goes, "If an old dog barks, he gives counsel" ("If you wish a good advice, consult an old man"). Today, several versions of books named Sayings of Old Men have emerged in the market. As requested by readers, the latest version of Selected Sayings of Old Men edited elaborately by China Water & Power Press has been officially published recently.

Since its initial launch at the end of 2011 by China Water & Power Press, Selected Sayings of Old Men has been warmly welcomed by readers, and the reprints still cannot meet market demand.

To satisfy readers' requirements and spread the traditional Chinese culture to the rest of the world, China Water & Power Press has invited a group of experts to perfect the contents by introducing handwritten calligraphy, faithful and elegant English translations and exquisite Chinese paintings. The binding of the whole book has also been designed to be more tasteful and attractive.

This book collects many classic dictums of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and famous remarks by Venerable Master Chin Kung, the compiler of the book. By reading these well-known quotations, people from all walks of life, especially civil servants, will benefit in cultivating their minds, managing state affairs and developing interpersonal skills.

As the name of this book Selected Sayings of Old Men (Chinese-English & Calligraphy) suggests, this book boasts bilingual, unique and charismatic content with elegant English mainly translated by Liu Yuli , a professor of Party School of the Central Committee of C.P.C. Venerable Master Chin Kung's handwritten calligraphy and some famous Chinese paintings also contribute to the enchantment of the book.
