How far is Confucius from us? The ancients said, "If Heaven had not given birth to Confucius, all of history would have been a long night." How far is the Analects from us? A 2,500-year-old treasure has always been close at hand. "Half of the Analects can govern the world," yet this thin volume carries the profound cultural heritage and wisdom accumulated over millennia. The Analects is a collection of Confucius's teachings and the of his disciples, embodying the thoughts of sages and scholars that resonate closely with ordinary people's lives, illuminating the essence of life. A thousand years have not altered the nature of life; whether in the past or now, the brilliance of existence ultimately returns to tranquility. A fulfilling and self-possessed life is the greatest happiness.
