Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Analects of Confucius is a compendium of lively banter and engaging exchanges between Confucius and his contemporaries, one that touches upon culture, fashion, arts, and society, making fun of celebrities and political figures of the day with juicy quotes from bestselling books as well as popular lyrics from the most widely-circulated songs, all of which, unfortunately, is lost on the modern reader — lost in translations that, out of good scholarly intention, seek to faithfully preserve historical reference. Not in this version of the Analects however, which translates not only language but also culture. In the world’s first skopos-oriented translation of the Confucian Analects, the distractions of history and culture are sidestepped by teleporting Confucius into modern society and allowing him to speak in a contemporary American idiom: where he quotes from the masterworks of his day, classical passages from the Western canon are reproduced; where he sings from popular songs, lines from the Anglo-American lyrical repertoire are appropriated for effect. Politicians of antiquity are replaced with their doppelgangers from the American political landscape; Chinese dynasties are swapped for the empires of Greece and Rome. The result is a work of equivalent effect, through which the rhetorical force and conversational style of Confucius becomes evident, allowing the ideas of Confucius the man to shine through.
Download or read book Confucius Never Said written by Helen Raleigh and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-04-28 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a four-generation family journey from repression and poverty in China to freedom and prosperity in the United States. Their lives overlap with many significant historical events taking place in China, such as the founding of Communist China in 1949, the Great Chinese Famine from 1958-1960, the Cultural Revolution from 1966-1976 and the Economic Reform starting from 1980. The author recounts the enormous suffering her family had to endure under Communist China's radical social experiment. Her great-grandfather was denounced by the Chinese Communist Party and his neighbors simply because he owned land. He died in poverty, and his dying wish was never granted. Her grandfather loaned his fishing boat to the Communist Party, and ended up losing his independence and becoming a janitor. Her father escaped his village to get educated and thus survived the Great Famine. He became highly educated, but never joined the Communist Party . . . and was sent to a re-education labor camp because of it. The author herself grew up in China and immigrated to the United States as a young adult. She sought freedom and the American Dream, and found both. This book is about freedom-and about what happens when we let people take our freedom away.

Book excerpt: Confucius Says is a novel about caregiving for elderly parents. Cary, a middle-aged Chinese American, was brought up to believe in the Confucian virtue of filial piety: serving one's parents is a sacred duty that requires extreme sacrifice. Thus when Cary's parents become too feeble to live on their own, she takes them in with the blessing of her Caucasian husband, Steve. But the more Cary tries to please her parents, the crabbier they become. A string of crises drives Cary to the verge of a meltdown. She finally confronts the source of her troubles: Confucius. She reads the Book on Filial Piety to see what exactly Confucius says about the subject. To her surprise, she finds his sayings are quite the opposite of what she's been taught to believe. Liberated from her misconceptions, Cary rediscovers filial piety as a universal formula for a functional, loving modern family. Veronica Li, an immigrant from Hong Kong, received her B.A. in English from the University of California, Berkeley and her master's in International Affairs from Johns Hopkins University. Li was a journalist for the Asian Wall Street Journal and other organizations. She later joined the World Bank, for which she traveled extensively and got her inspiration for her thriller, Nightfall in Mogadishu. Her second book, Journey across the Four Seas: A Chinese Woman's Search for Home, is a memoir of her mother's life.

Book excerpt: The Analects are also called the Analects of Confucius, the Sayings of Confucius, or the Lun Yu, and are an old Chinese book written of a wide collection of ideas and sayings credited to the Chinese philosopher Confucius and his peers. It is believed to have been compiled and written by Confucius's followers. It might have been written during the Warring States period (477-221 BC), and it reached its final structure during the mid-Han dynasty (206 BC-220 AD). By the early Han dynasty, the Analects were thought of as simply a commentary on the Five Masterpieces, but the situation with the Analects developed to be one of the central texts of Confucianism toward the end of that dynasty. His essential goal in teaching his students was to produce ethically well-mannered men who might convey themselves with gravity, talk accurately, and demonstrate perfect integrity in all things.
Download or read book What Confucius Had Actually Said written by Tom Ma and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-04-16 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confucianism is not a religion like Christianity or Buddhism, but its influence in the whole Chinese culture is not less than that of Christianity in the West or Buddhism in the East. Confucius has been so long and so fervently worshiped in China as well as in the Southeastern Asian nations. Confucius died at the age of 73. After his death, his students built a temple named after him. Years later, some of his students and their students compiled all of Confucius's sayings and some of his outstanding students' sayings into a book called "The Analects of Confucius", which later became the most important document used to study Confucianism. Analects of Confucius was the most authoritative of all laws in a long Chinese history over thousands of years, and it could not be criticized, no matter in which dynasty or who the emperor was. Even the emperor himself also had to abide by the Confucius Sayings. This situation finally changed when the Chinese republic was established in 1912. Although Confucius died more than 2,500 years ago, his philosophy, his teaching, and his advice, have been deeply rooted in the Chinese people's hearts. Hundreds of years ago, his doctrine was introduced into the Southeastern Asian nations and was soon accepted and worshiped as well by the people in those lands. In early times, there was a Confucius temple at every town in China and in many Southeastern nations too. Confucius's birthday, September 28, was declared as Teacher's Day, a national holiday, by the Nationalist Chinese government while it ruled China. Today, the government in Taiwan still observes the Teacher's Day. On that day the government officials would lead people in a ceremony at a Confucius temple to worship and pay highest respect to the greatest sage in China. Definitely this book will help people understand what Confucius actually said some 2,500 years ago.
