Analects
Analects | Confucius
Few individuals have shaped their country's civilization more profoundly than the Master Kong, better-known as Confucius (551-479 BC). His sayings and those of his disciples form the foundation of a distinct social, ethical, and intellectual system. They have retained their freshness and vigor throughout the two and a half millennia of their currency, and are still admired even in today's China. This lively new translation offers clear explanatory notes by one of the foremost scholars of classical Chinese, providing an ideal introduction to the Analects for readers who have no previous knowledge of the Chinese language and philosophical traditions. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

I wasn‘t sure what to expect from this Classical Chinese work. I wanted to read it cause I‘d heard Confucius was essential to understand China and I read a short introduction once that didn‘t feel deep enough. While very gnomic and containing so many layers of meaning that I see why people have been writing about this for millennia, this was a lot more readable than I expected and it made me think a lot. Very approachable translation and notes

Reading The Analects was difficult because I didn‘t understand its cultural or historical relevance. I spent some time looking into its history & this helped me to understand how important it is to read this as an historical document.

Historical documents aren‘t usually the most exciting reads, but I gained a greater understanding, &, I hope, appreciation for an aspect of world history.

Thanks for the opportunity to read this, @SerialReader !

I'm enjoying the Analects, and finding many sayings to ponder, but I know I should buy a copy with a good introduction and explanatory notes in order to truly appreciate this classic work. Maybe someday... But for now, #SerialReader is a great way to break the sayings up into manageable chunks and get acquainted with the work! #litsyclassics #letterA Have any of y'all read this?

Not pictured: a hot cup of Jasmine Romance green tea. 😊

I'm loving my three current #litsyclassics reads on #SerialReader, each for very different reasons! #letterA has intriguing philosophical thoughts, #letterY has a suspenseful sci fi plot, and #letterZ has lovely descriptions and dramatic characters! #SerialReader is extra perfect this year, since my phone is in airplane mode for the year! So when I don't have wifi, all I can do on it is read! 🤗

There were times I couldn't find time to read. And there were times I couldn't stop reading and missed life instead. What is life without living it... and what is knowledge without reading? Both go hand in hand.

I figured it was time I show you the reason for the "Sew" in "SewItGoes"! I made this last week for my desk at work. :) (The quote I think is Obama referencing Confucius but either way it's a favorite.)

Pagesflutter Very nice! I ❤cross-stitch! It goes well with audiobooks too, heh. 7y
