The Four Books have shaped East Asian intellectual traditions, yet their multi-layered interpretive complexity limits their accessibility in the digital age. While traditional bilingual commentaries provide a vital pedagogical bridge, computational frameworks are needed to preserve and explore this wisdom. This paper bridges AI and classical philosophy by introducing Graphilosophy, an ontology-guided, multi-layered knowledge graph framework for modeling and interpreting The Four Books. Integrating natural language processing, multilingual semantic embeddings, and humanistic analysis, the framework transforms a bilingual Chinese-Vietnamese corpus into an interpretively grounded resource. Graphilosophy encodes linguistic, conceptual, and interpretive relationships across interconnected layers, enabling cross-lingual retrieval and AI-assisted reasoning while explicitly preserving scholarly nuance and interpretive plurality. The system also enables non-expert users to trace the evolution of ethical concepts across borders and languages, ensuring that ancient wisdom remains a living resource for modern moral discourse rather than a static relic of the past. Through an interactive interface, users can trace the evolution of ethical concepts across languages, ensuring ancient wisdom remains relevant for modern discourse. A preliminary user study suggests the system's capacity to enhance conceptual understanding and cross-cultural learning. By linking algorithmic representation with ethical inquiry, this research exemplifies how AI can serve as a methodological bridge, accommodating the ambiguity of cultural heritage rather than reducing it to static data.
