Confucius 551-479 BC , though of noble descent, was born in humble
circumstances. He believed that politics is only an extension of
morals, and spent ten years travelling through the various states
of China spreading his ideas. When he realised that there was no
way of converting the feudal rulers to his way of thinking he
returned to Lu and spent the rest of his life there teaching his
pupils.
D.C Lau has held a number of professorships in the field of Chinese
language and literature.
“For more than two millennia, the teachings of Confucius have
served as a guide for a substantial portion of
humanity. English-language readers seeking to understand this
remarkable body of thought are fortunate to have Annping Chin’s
highly readable and judiciously annotated edition of The Analects.”
—Henry A. Kissinger
“An astonishingly lucid exposition of The Analects. A kind of
serene insight pervades the commentaries.” —Harold Bloom
“An incomparable new volume that combines a fresh and sympathetic
translation with a wonderfully readable annotation. It is a joy to
use and will unlock a whole new level of meaning for
English-language readers.” —Orville Schell, Director of the Center
on U.S.-China Relations and co-author of Wealth and Power: China’s
Long March to the Twenty-First Century
