-	The '''''Great Learning''''' was one of the "[[Four Books]]" in Confucianism. The ''Great Learning'' had come from a chapter in the ''[[Classic of Rites]]'' which formed one of the [[Five Classics]]. It consists of a short main text attributed to the teachings of Confucius and then ten commentary chapters accredited to one of Confucius' disciples, [[Zengzi]]. The ideals of the book were supposedly Confucius's; however the text was written after his death.	+
