Shēn yín yǔ (English spelling)

Japanese: 呻吟語 - しんぎんご(英語表記)Shēn yín yǔ
Shēn yín yǔ (English spelling)
Written by Chinese Ming Dynasty thinker Lu Kun (1536-1618). Lu Kun also wrote the Records of Political Affairs, and was a thinker well versed in the practicalities of politics. For this reason, in Groaning Words he refrains from talking specifically about metaphysics, but rather, based on his experiences and painful reflections in a dark society filled with political strife and chaos, he passionately explains the everyday knowledge of citizen life and how to live in the political arena. Perhaps for this reason, this book, along with Caigentan, was more widely read in Japan than in China.

Japanese:
中国,明代の思想家呂坤(りよこん)(1536‐1618)の著。呂坤には《実政録》の著もあり,政治の実務にも精通した思想家である。それだけに《呻吟語》ではことさらに形而上学について語ることはひかえ,むしろ,政争と混乱にあけくれた暗い社会の中での体験と痛切な反省をふまえて,市民生活の日常的な心得や政治的な場における処世訓などを切々と説いている。本書はそのためか,中国においてよりはむしろ日本において《菜根譚》とともによく読まれた。
