"The extended virtuous words", originally named "old virtuous words" and "all time virtuous words", or briefly "the extend".
It is not known who first wrote it and when. It is said that the original version was compiled by a scholar in the mid Ming Dynasty, and then added by later people. It became very popular ever since the late Qing Dynasty, and penetrated into every corner of the society. It is said "Reading 'the extended' makes one articulate".
The terse, easy reading, memorable verses were taken by many as a life-time asset. It consists of sayings from all walks of life and different kinds of styles, including religious and secular, governing and reclusive, and saying for officials, farmers, workers and business people; the styles vary from elegant to vulgar, direct to implied, persuasive to deterring, and the old to the trendy languages.
