Reader comments
The Analects of Confucius is a very important classic in our country. It records the quotations of our country's sage Confucius when he taught his disciples. He is the theoretical source of the entire Confucianism. Although it is so important, its universality in contemporary times is very weak. The main reason may be that the Analects of Confucius is full of simple words in ancient Chinese, which contain many profound truths. However, most young people today have very weak abilities in ancient Chinese. It is extremely difficult for them to read such classics.
This translation of "The Analects" is relatively faithful to the original work. As one of the classics of Confucianism, there are other classics of Chinese studies that must be learned and inherited and carried forward. Let me share my opinion: understand them from a comprehensive perspective, that is, the author's perspective and environment at the time, changes in historical development, and current and future applications; some books can be re-arranged, compiled or even compiled using modern language context and new methods to attract the attention of the new generation and promote their spirit. This is the key to the development of Chinese studies.
As a work included in Chinese textbooks, "The Analects of Confucius" runs through the three periods of elementary school, junior high school, and high school. It can be seen that this work is of great significance in guiding students to learn to be a good person and develop good habits. The greatness of Confucius lies in his concept of benevolence, his thought of benefiting the world, and his compassionate feelings. The Analects of Confucius is a treasure of Chinese philosophy and culture, worthy of our repeated study. This book adds annotations and reference understandings to the Analects, which reduces the difficulty of reading this book and allows more readers to restrain themselves with moral concepts in the Analects, thereby warming them and achieving themselves.
The book "The Analects of Confucius" is very interesting! It contains many conversations between Confucius and his disciples, and it feels like watching them chat. I especially like Confucius. His thoughts are very wise, and many of his words are very reasonable. I have learned many ways to deal with the world. This book also gave me a deeper understanding of Chinese traditional culture. It is really a book worth reading!
A classic among classics, the book contains a lot of meaningful content and can provide you with a lot of thoughts and reflections about life and being a human being.
