Editorial Review Product Description Translated by Leonard A. Lyall An excerpt: 1. The Master said, He that rules by mind is like the north star, steady in his seat, whilst the stars all bend to him. 2. The Master said, The three hundred poems are summed up in the one line, Think no evil. 3. The Master said, Guide the people by law, aline them by punishment; they may shun crime, but they will want shame. Guide them by mind, aline them by courtesy; they will learn shame and grow good. |

Editorial Review Product Description The worship of Confucius is one of the least understood aspects of Confucianism, even though the temple and the cult were highly visible signs of Confucianism's existence in imperial China. To many modern observers of traditional China, the temple cult is difficult to reconcile with the image of Confucianism as an ethical, humanistic, rational philosophy. The nine essays in this book are an attempt to recover the meaning and significance of the religious side of Confucianism. Among other subjects, the authors analyze the social, cultural, and political meaning attached to the cult; its history; the legends, images, and rituals associated with the worship of Confucius; the power of the descendants of Confucius, the main temple in the birthplace of Confucius; and the contemporary fate of temples to Confucius. |

Christmas Gift as We Enter the New Millennium David Li'sthe Analects of Confucius - A New-Millennium Translation, is such abook. Graduated from St. John's University in Shanghai, well known forthe command of English, Mr. Li earned an MBA from the Wharton School of theUniversity of Pennsylvania, and a PhD from the University of Illinois.Hewas a Professor at the California State University, Fullerton; at theUniversity of Washington, Seattle; and at the University of Texas, Dallas. He was also a Visiting Professor to the Chinese University of Hong Kong andto India. Versed in seven or eight foreign languages, Mr. Li, prior totranslating the Analects of Confucius, has published 16 English-languagebooks single-handedly.Although he left China at age 20 and spent morethan a half century abroad, Mr. Li nevertheless feels a personalresponsibility for the dissimination of Chinese culture to the world.Eventhough a septuagenarian, Mr. Li still goes to the Library of Congressregularly to collect materials, and to Taiwan and mainland to do interviewsand research.He also already published books on Xiangqi and onMah-jong. Although there are over 20 English translations of Confucius'sAnalects, what prompted Mr. Li to engage in another translation of this2500-year-old classic? 1) age - personal experiences accumulated through70 years of life allow him to appreciate the real meaning of theAnalects. 2) facility in both Chinese and English; observance oftranslation standards of truthfulness, clarity, and elegance 3) avoidanceof incorrect interpretation and inaccurate translation 4) exhaustiveannotation - some 500 footnotes for the Analects' 515 segments, withparticular emphasis on historical background and geopolitical environmentlikely to be unfamiliar to wester readers, and on cross-references betweenabstract concepts and specific applications 5) several indexes (this is acommon shortcoming of reference works in Chinese; indexes in this bookevidences Mr. Li's schoarlship after decades of western-style training) -including a chronology on Confucius, an index of his disciples, an index ofpeople other than his disciples, and a subject index. I was particularlymoved by Mr. Li's dedicating this work to the Younger Generation of ChineseEthnicity, expressing the hope that they would be proud of their culturalheritage that is second to none. This new translation of the Analects ofConfucius should not only be read by our American-raised youngergenerations, but should also be recommended to friends of other ethnicity,even to the first-generation immigrants who were deprived of opportunitiesof gaining access to Confucius's thoughts in their growing-up period, orwho had misunderstood his teachings.They should all take advantage ofthis elegant and thoughtful bilingual volume to gain a new understanding ofConfucian thought.

Excellent work For example: "Acommon man will do whatever is needed to be out of poverty" (p 182). This sentence connotes "bad" value in Chinese tradition.But theconception is "good" in the American contemporary mentality. This represents a cultural and temporal diversity.In Li's book, Li didnot endorse either.For this reason, Li's book is extremely valuable as aneducational means.
Most valuable to those who can read both Chinese and English The Master said: "A gentleman focuses onvirtue; a common man, on land.A gentleman focuses on civicresponsibilities; a common man, on gaining advantage." With afootnote, explaining that "land" is a general reference to itemsof value, that passage in Chinese is fully and accurately translated intoEnglish. This volume by Dr. Li, "The Analects of Confucius, aNew-Millennium Translation," is a very worthwhile book to read.
A title 2,500 years ago is of interest to us chess players The author addresses this question in a forward evoking current events, the tribulations of President Clinton, and, in a personal context,there is an amusing quote from the hyper-modern Confucius: "When afault is allowed to remain uncorrected, that is then a fault," andalso "If one cannot resist minor temptations, one's grand plan mightbe ruined." Confucius seems so ancient that he is practically new tous.Although I joke about hyper-modernism,the intent of the author seemsto be to present the work as current advice on a palpable them ofConfucius, Conduct. Perhaps the best compliment that I could offer tohim, by way of his current interpreter, is that I picked up his book andpaid it rapt attention, the kind usually reserved for new chess titles. Ishould finish with something of value to any writer on a newsgroup, orelsewhere: "When a name cannot be justified, words have noauthority.When words have no authority, missions cannot be accomplished,Conduct and music cannot flourish.When Conduct and music are notflourishing, penalties and punishments cannot be on target.When penaltiesand punishments are noton target, the populace are without anchors toguide themselves.Thus, a gentleman's name must have authority; his wordsmust be put into practice.A gentleman, in relation to his words, mustalways be vigilant." And he has. Phil Innes ... Read more |
