"I Tell Stories for the Analects of Confucius" is a book based on "The Analects of Confucius" and "Confucius' Family Sayings" and compiled by the author's originality. The author uses the words of the sage Confucius to tell his story and transform the Analects from quotations into vivid stories. It can be said that it is both an introductory book for interpreting the Analects and an innovative book for studying the Analects. It is said to be an "introductory book" because the book shows the background story behind each discourse in "The Analects" in the form of stories, allowing readers to understand the "Analects" in a more specific, comprehensive and systematic manner. It is said to be an "innovative book" because the author connects related events, not only connects the storyline, enriches the characters, but also appropriately interprets the content of "The Analects", which can be said to be as beautiful as it is, and to its fullest potential. This book is divided into three parts, named "Experience Chapter", "Teaching Chapter" and "Growth Chapter" respectively. The full text of "The Analects" is attached at the end of the article for readers to compare and study. The experience chapter describes the saint's life experience, allowing us to have a comprehensive and detailed understanding of Confucius's life and deeds; the teaching chapter narrates the story of the saint teaching his disciples, and it can be said that the wisdom of education is rich in the disciples; the growth chapter explains the gains of the saint's academic life, including learning and cognition, understanding of Taoism, establishing virtue and cultivating people, words and deeds etiquette, etc. Although the Tao cannot fully describe the saint's "nature of speech and the way of heaven", we can still get a glimpse of the saint's wise heart, benevolent heart, virtuous heart, perseverance and hope, which will shine through the ages!
