Happy New Year to everyone. It's the 1st day of a new year, the potential for all of us is unlimited. Let's get out there and kick some ass!!
pickI 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
so-soReading 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 I spent some time looking into its history & this helped me to understand how important it is to read this as an historical document.
Historical documents aren‘t usually the most exciting reads, but I gained a greater understanding, &, I hope, appreciation for an aspect of world history.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 !
