About this book
The book is Guanzi, Number 49, Study of Inner Cultivation, translated by Bruce R. Linnell. The background says the Nei Ye is variously translated as Inner Enterprise, Inner Training, Inner Cultivation, or Inner Development. The background calls the work a brief work (only 1/5 as long as the Dao De Jing), written in short, often rhymed, verses.
The background says the work has been preserved in the Guanzi, a collection of diverse writings that was compiled during the third century BC. The text says spring, autumn, winter and summer are the timing of heaven, and mountains, hills, streams and valleys are the limbs of the earth. A verse says that with a settled heart/mind in your center, your ears and eyes are acute and clear and your four limbs are hard and strong.
