The School Sayings of Confucius
More Confucius than the Analects. The School Sayings of Confucius gather stories, conversations and teachings that the Analects left out: Confucius as minister of justice in Lu, his travels and hardships between Chen and Cai, his talks with Duke Ai on government, with his disciples on ritual and music, and the scenes of his death and burial. Compiled in the third century by the scholar Wang Su from older materials, it presents a fuller, more narrative portrait of the Master and his circle than any other early book. This complete new English translation gives all forty-four chapters, with the preface. Names are given in modern pinyin and key terms are rendered plainly rather than buried in jargon, so the arguments, stories and debates can be read straight through by anyone curious about Chinese thought.
