"Confucius's Analects" is an innovative textbook for teaching
and learning Chinese language and culture at the advanced level. It
combines classical and modern Chinese language skills, Chinese
culture, and expository and narrative writing practice.
Confucius's "Analects" is a central work of East Asian
intellectual history that permeates Chinese and East Asian thought
and values today. Students seeking to develop advanced language
proficiency need to be familiar with the "Analects" in order to
understand the wealth of literary allusions that appear in modern
as well as classical Chinese writings. A selection of 82 passages,
which are all educational and practical for present-day students,
are grouped thematically into four parts -- knowledge, morality,
wisdom, and government -- and covers Confucian teachings from
personal cultivation to social contribution.
Features: - A quadrupled text system includes quotations from
the "Analects," modern Chinese translations of these passages,
short essays of exegesis that elaborate on the major points, and
historical Chinese stories that illustrate the theme- Vocabulary
expansion sections show how monosyllabic classical words have each
expanded into ten selected modern bisyllabic words- Almost 300
idioms and corresponding exercises teach their rhetorical value and
provide cultural exposure- Sections on function words help students
to understand classical Chinese- Extensive writing practice in each
chapter includes debate, composition, storytelling, and topical
research -- all requiring internet research- Audio files of
recitation of the "Analects" passages by a native speaker are
available online for free
Designed for students who have studied Chinese for three years
in college or an equivalent, this textbook is ideal for students of
advanced Chinese, classical Chinese, and Chinese culture. Knowledge
of classical Chinese is not a prerequisite.
