The Classic Wisdom Collection is a library of ancient philosophical texts that have been re-worked as a labor of love into high-quality books with decorative edges, clean, easy to reference page design, and beautiful cover design and feel. The edition of The Analects of Confucius is Illustrated by Yiping Xue with beautiful traditional Chinese ink paintings.
Born in China in 551 B.C., Confucius rose from poverty to the heights of his country's ruling class. But then he resigned from his high post for the life of an itinerant philosopher. "The Analects" collects his teachings on education and government, the definition of nobility, the equality of man, and the right way and purpose of living - ideas that eventually spread to the West and influenced generations of great thinkers. And five centuries before Christ, Confucius set forth his own Golden Rule: "Do not impose on others what you do not wish for yourself."
Translated by James Legge.
