Features: Those who have read The Analects might have the impression that through the daily words and deeds of Confucius and his disciples, the originally abstract and difficult-to-understand values, ethics, morals, and perspectives on life, such as "benevolence" (ren) and "ritual propriety" (li), which hold universal significance in traditional Chinese culture, suddenly become tangible and visible. It is concise, accessible, yet everywhere reflects the brilliance of Confucian philosophy. Therefore, The Analects can be called a highly successful example of combining theory with practice. As the greatest and most influential thinker, educator, and even the banner of traditional Chinese culture in Chinese history, Confucius is largely recognized to the world through The Analects.
