Tips

history
Its 82 chapters, three of them lost, read the 春秋 through yin and yang and the five phases, and argue that Heaven warns a bad ruler with floods, eclipses and other portents. Some chapters look like later additions, so how much 董仲舒 wrote himself is debated.
culture
It holds that the benevolent man 正其道不谋其利 'keeps to the right way and does not scheme for profit', a line still quoted against chasing quick gains.
