Creation background

When Lin Zexu was in his fifties, he wrote Ten Useless for his children. He defined some behaviors in life that seem to be beneficial to individuals in different ways. "Ten useless" actually means that under certain conditions, some seemingly beneficial things are actually useless.

After reading Ten Useless Books, you will understand that there is nothing absolute in this world, and the efficiency of everything is conditional. Lin Zexu summed up his code of conduct as this short "ten uselessness", which is also his principle of educating children.
