In the eighth century, Wu Jing selected exchanges between Emperor
Taizong and his ministers that he deemed key to good governance.
This collection of dialogues has been used for the education of
emperors, political elites and general readers ever since, and is a
standard reference work in East Asian political thought. Consisting
of ten volumes, subdivided into forty topics, The Essentials of
Governance addresses core themes of Chinese thinking about the
politics of power, from the body politic, presenting and receiving
criticism, recruitment, the education of the imperial clan,
political virtues and vices, to cultural policy, agriculture, law,
taxation, border policy, and how to avoid disaster and dynastic
fall. Presented with introductory commentary that offers insights
into its historical context and global reception, this accessible
and reliable translation brings together ten scholars of Chinese
intellectual history to offer a nuanced edition that preserves the
organisation, tone and flow of the original.
