Di che cosa tratta
Conversazioni e sentenze di Confucio raccolte dai suoi discepoli: come si forma una persona retta, che cosa deve un figlio, come deve governare chi governa, e perché il rito e lo studio fanno la virtù.
Contesto e storia
Confucio (551-479 a.C.) non scrisse questo libro: lo compilarono generazioni di discepoli dopo la sua morte, nell'epoca degli Stati Combattenti. Di qui la sua aria di frammenti — scene brevi, repliche, silenzi. Nessun libro ha plasmato tanto la vita di una civiltà: per secoli gli esami imperiali cinesi si fondarono sul suo studio, e conoscerlo era letteralmente la via del potere. La sua impronta su educazione, famiglia e stato nell'Asia orientale arriva fino a oggi.

CHAP. V. The Master said, To rule a country of a thousand chariots, there must be reverent attention to business, and sincerity; economy in expenditure, and love for men; and the employment of the people at the proper seasons.' CHAP. VI. The Master said, 'A youth, when at home, should be filial, and, abroad, respectful to his elders. He should be earnest and truthful. He should overflow in love to all, and cultivate the friendship of the good. When he has time and opportunity, after the performance of these things, he should employ them in polite studies.' CHAP. VII. Tsze-hsia said, 'If a man withdraws his mind from the love of beauty, and applies it as sincerely to the love of the without truthfulness is to get on. How can a large carriage be made to go without the cross-bar for yoking the oxen to, or a small carriage without the arrangement for yoking the horses?' CHAP. XXIII. 1. Tsze-chang asked whether the affairs of ten ages after could be known. 2. Confucius said, 'The Yin dynasty followed the regulations of the Hsia: wherein it took from or added to them may be known. The Chau dynasty has followed the regulations of Yin: wherein it took from or added to them may be known.…
