Features: Confucius Anthology is a selective and compiled work. On the surface, each chapter appears to be extracted from various books, with different schools of thought and seemingly chaotic organization. However, it has been meticulously planned by the editor, categorized into volumes, and analyzed in a clear and structured manner. The entire book is divided into fourteen categories: Advising Learning, Filial Piety as the Foundation, Five Temperaments, The Six Arts, Principal Virtue, Ministerial Arts, Social Interactions, Discussing People, Discussing Governance, , Historical Records, Prophecies, and Fables. Due to the extensive length of The Six Arts, Historical Records, and Fables, each is further divided into two volumes, totaling seventeen volumes. These seventeen volumes can be analyzed from five perspectives. This book provides annotations and translations for the entire Confucius Anthology. Confucius was the founder of ancient Chinese Confucianism and was revered by successive rulers as the "Great Sage, Confucius, Literary and Propitious King" and "Premier Teacher." Confucianism became the ruling ideology of China's feudal society for thousands of years.
