This book is written by Plutarch after her daughter died at the age of four, a comfort letter addressed to his wife Timozena. The writing style follows the nature of author. The moving words let us feel the way of filial piety practice, and truthfully show us the nature of the author, gentle and sincere, kind and open-minded, quiet and indifferent to vanity.
