Mans Search for Meaning (Chinese Edition)

Interpretation Upon The Analects (revised edition) narrates that The Analects belongs to phylogeny of quotations prose, whose main body is dialogue. Written in colloquial form, The Analects has a style of brevity, smoothness and subtleness. Many sentences are rich in content, profound in meaning and have been used as daily expressions, such as One should have an active nature and fond of learning, not be ashamed to ask for advice from his subordinates, A little impatience will spoil great plans, There is no point on people taking counsel together who follow different ways, etc. These sentences are still in frequent use until now. Many chapters of The Analects have strong sense of presence. By using just a few words, expression and action of the characters as well as scenes can be presented in front of your eyes. While reading the book, you will suddenly realize that you seem to be placed among the disciples of Confucius and listening to the edification of Confucius without feeling the distance of space and language. All of these make a solid foundation for The Analects in the development of Chinese prose and rhetoric.
