About Caigentan - Chinese Wisdom
Caigentan (Roots of Wisdom) is a collection of aphorisms written by Hong Yingming during the Ming Dynasty. It blends Confucian, Buddhist, and Taoist philosophy into concise, timeless reflections on life. The book contains approximately 360 passages in two parts. "If you can chew on vegetable roots, you can accomplish anything." Features: • Full original text, a clear modern rendering, and a present-day parallel for each entry • Offline Chinese narration of all 360 entries, both parts • 10-language interface (English, Chinese, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Spanish, French) • Bookmarks, search, reading history and a night-friendly reading mode • Autoplay with a sleep timer
