What should I read after the Four Classics and Five Books? Is there any chart? Pretty hard coming across suggestions.
You hear a lot about neo-Confucianism and its impact on Asian societies but never mentions of any books written by neo-Confucians. If anyone has any recommendations, please tell me!

Imo reading the five classics after reading the four books is the best choice, start with I Ching. If you're worried about not liking it because it is mainly concerned with divination, don't be, it has pretty evident symbolic and philosophical value. If you don't know this already, the scholar that complied the four books, Zhu Xi, wrote other stuff, so maybe try out some of his other works.

Only spergs and bugmen think China isn't the country of SOUL. Your conceptions regarding Confucianism are pop-philosophy tier. Read Confucius, Mencius, and Zhu Xi.
