Los Cuatro Libros I: Analectas, El Gran Aprendizaje, La Doctrina del Medio (Legge)

Your computer must have the Big 5 character set (Traditional Chinese) installed to display the Chinese text in this file correctly. This text preserves the original page breaks. In a few places I have substituted the character forms available in the Big 5 character set for rare or (what are now considered) nonstandard forms used by Legge. Characters not included in the Big 5 character set in any form are described by their constituent elements. A note for the Unicode version This Unicode version was made directly from the Big 5 original, and so the same note about substitute characters applies; no attempt has been made to undo the substitutions. However, of course, you will need support for Unicode rather than Big 5 to view this file.

'The superior man bends his attention to what is radical. 弟也者、其為仁之本與。 【第三章】子曰、巧言令色、鮮矣仁。 【第四章】曾子曰、吾日三省吾身、為人謀、而不忠乎、與朋友交、而不信 乎、傳不習乎。 That being established, all practical courses naturally grow up.
