Confucius is the "saint" of China. The Analects of Confucius can be said to be the Bible in China. Since the classics of the past, "Confucius Theory" is of course a must -have work. In fact, the book list written by readers from the reader is written. Among them, the Analects of Confucius is also the most named. Many readers also drew hope to be published before the college entrance examination!

The words "The Analects" are very beautiful, for example:

"If you have a friend from a distance, are you happy? People do n’t know but do n’t you be a gentleman?”

"I have five aspirations to learn; I stand for thirty; forty but not confused; fifty knows the destiny; sixty and the ears are smooth; seventy and what I want from my heart, not to exceed the moment."

"Know the waters, the benevolent Leshan.

"The person who knows is not confused, the benevolent is not worried, the brave is not afraid."

"Only women and villains are embarrassed! It is not grandson, but far away."

From these sentences, from ancient times to the present, a large number of quantities of literati or vendors have been traded.

The truth that Confucius talked about, for more than 2,000 years, it was very applicable to the four seas. Zilu said that because Zi Lu often made this mistake, but today there are not many people who often make this mistake -I do n’t really know the facts, but I know, and even publish a fallacy!

Confucius is also a person. The most lovely place is that he has humanity, joy and sorrow. When Confucius he is happy, he sings when he is happy. When he is angry, he will cry when he is sad. He will also make a joke. He sometimes succeeds in doing things, and sometimes fails. It is not that you will never make an error like "God". When you read this book, you know that Confucius is also the same as you and me. You will be closer to his doctrine.

One thing that must be explained is that starting from the painting "Zhuangzi", I have considered the issue of the research. For example, there is no paper and pen in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the currency used is not ingot, but if they are painted, they use the knife to engrave bamboo slips with a knife. Maybe readers will think that they are engraving rather than writing; painting they hold the money knife, maybe readers think that they are holding a knife instead of money. To measure gains and losses, I still choose the symbolic method that everyone is easy to understand at a glance, because the purpose of drawing these books is to simplify the ancient books and write the "meaning", not the evidence. Please read and forgive it.
