Liaofan's Four Lessons

NEW: A CANTONESE EDITION • Interface, translation and examples in written Cantonese • Cantonese narration in a Hong Kong voice — 602 segments across all 92 passages • The classical text stays classical; Cantonese is used for the translation and the worked examples DISCOVER, REBUILT • Core Ideas — the book's argument in six, each with the sentence it is made in • The Author — who Yuan Liaofan was, the fortune told at Ciyun Temple, and the three sleepless nights that undid it • Sections — one line on what each of the four lessons covers • "Poem of the Day" is now "Passage of the Day". This is a book of family instruction, not verse TRADITIONAL CHINESE • 822 common characters were never being converted and now are, so Traditional Chinese is no longer half-converted • Classical usage is right: 余 is "I", not "surplus"; 《詩》云 is "says", not "cloud"
