The Great Learning
Da Xue ( The Great Learning) and Zhong Yong( The Doctrine of the Mean) were originally in Li Ji ( The record of Rites). It was Zhu Xi the famous Song dynasty compiler and commentator who had taken both Da Xue and Zhong Yong out of the Li Ji and put them together with Lun Yu and Mencius to form the Four Books. of the Confucius Classics. The Four Books , along with the Five Classics were adopted as the core curriculum for the imperial examination in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
