Features: The Analects is one of the best classics in Chinese literature, recording the words and deeds of the greatest sages in ancient China. Most of the book consists of conversations between Confucius and his disciples or others. At that time, the disciples recorded them separately, and after Confucius' death, they compiled these records into the book The Analects. The Analects is also a collection of several fragmented chapters. The arrangement of these chapters does not necessarily follow any logic; there may not even be a connection between the preceding and succeeding chapters.
