I read Fu Peirong's The Analects of Confucius in the most careful detail. This book translates the words in The Analects sentence by sentence, and then adds explanations. It is comprehensive and rigorous. Fu Peirong was educated in western philosophy at Yale University. His research is good at understanding depth, and many viewpoints are thought-provoking. However, there are also some who insist on nothing, such as "sixty and obey the ear." He believes that "ear" is a derivative word, which should be "obedient to sixty" and obedient to the destiny known by fifty; For example, he explained "self-denial" and "gram" as "energy", which naturally means "energy". For example, thrift means thrift, but when you say "can", it is usually followed by adjectives or verbs, not nouns, and you can't say "can tree" or "can express". I have also read his Detailed Explanation of Confucius, and listened to his lectures such as Asking Confucius and Learning Wisdom from Confucius' Disciples, and gained a lot.
The second book is Mao Zishui's annotation and translation of The Analects of Confucius. A famous professor in Taiwan Province, Mao Zishui, was born in 1893 and died in 1988. He is called "an encyclopedic scholar during the May 4th Movement", and his annotations reflect profound skills and cite many quotations. There are also many unique features in translation, which are very enlightening to read. Most of his views are reflected in "Today's Notes", and sometimes his academic views are written in. For example, those "rites" with red tape, scholars who don't specialize in the ritual system don't have to spend time studying them. So this book is not only a translator, but also a tutor.
The third book is The Analects, written by Yang Bojun. Yang Bojun is recognized as a master of Chinese studies. He was born in a scholarly family. When I was a child, I read Zuo Zhuan under the guidance of my grandfather and father. After that, I studied with my uncle Yang Shuda (a famous linguist) and Mr. Huang Kan. He used to teach at Lanzhou University. It's a pity that he left when I was at school. Yang Bojun's explanation shows his profound knowledge of ancient Chinese, and his extensive reference to ancient books and in-depth study of ancient customs are amazing. This book is a book that no one who studies The Analects of Confucius can ignore. Its "translation" is easy to understand and its "annotation" is profound and accurate, from which both beginners and researchers can benefit. Unfortunately, this book has only "notes" without explanation, so it is not very enjoyable to read.
The fourth book is The Analects of Confucius, written by Li Zehou, a famous aesthete. Today, Li Zehou's reading is his personal interpretation of The Analects. His aestheticism determines his unique interpretation of The Analects. He pays more attention to aesthetics and art, and there are many artistic viewpoints in the book that I have never heard of before. His translation mostly refers to Mr. Yang Bojun's annotation on The Analects of Confucius, but there is not much innovation in annotation and translation, and the essence lies in the "annotation" part.
The fifth book, Advanced Interpretation of the Analects of Confucius, is a popular book on Chinese studies in Taiwan Province Province and a required manual for teachers of Chinese studies in Taiwan Province Province. Because it is an advanced interpretation, the Analects of Confucius is not interpreted sentence by sentence according to its style. Instead, the thought of The Analects of Confucius is divided into several categories, such as morality, speech, politics and literature. And integrate the relevant contents of the Analects of Confucius for a comprehensive interpretation. Of course, this is not comprehensive, but the key points are prominent. There is an "analysis" behind every interpretation of The Analects of Confucius, which expands a lot of knowledge, such as Mencius, Historical Records, the Book of the Later Han Dynasty and so on. And make the understanding of the Analects of Confucius more organized.
The sixth book is Sangudog: I am reading of the analects of confucius by Professor Peking University Li Ling. Li Ling is a professor. This book is the teaching material for his lectures. Although it is very academic, it uses a lot of spoken language, so it is easier to read. The content is very rich, the viewpoint is also very deep, and the speech is very clear. The only shortcoming is that he didn't annotate and translate The Analects completely and accurately, so there are many omissions. The name of this book is Sangudog, which is very interesting. "Sanggugou" is a description of Confucius in Historical Records, but Mr. Li Ling expanded it and thought that "anyone who holds ideals and can't find a spiritual home in the real world is a Sanggugou." However, personally, I think that Confucius really has ideals, but in reality, it is not that he can't find a spiritual home, but that he can't find a stage to display his talents. He is a man with a spiritual home, and he has created a wonderful spiritual home for future generations to browse and watch repeatedly, with endless aftertaste.
The seventh book is Li Li's Lectures on the Analects of Confucius. Li Li is a legend. He loves Chinese studies. He usually wears cloth shoes and a gown, and is called "Mr. gown". However, his junior high school diploma has become a popular university teacher. He took ten pieces of bacon to consult Ji Xianlin, a master of Chinese studies, and made an unforgettable acquaintance ... but I didn't know this until I read his book. His interpretation was simple and vivid, and I was inspired a lot. Because it is a handout, it is easy to read.
The eighth is the Analects of Confucius by Nan. Nan Lao is extremely accomplished in Chinese studies and Buddhism, and his knowledge is particularly rich. His books, including He Zi Sr, are all the same. There are many ancient allusions, but there are also some problems. Most of these books are compiled from the lecture records of his students. They are easy to read, but they are too white and a little verbose. Nan Lao's views have a great influence in Taiwan Province Province, and his views are reflected in several books written by Taiwan Province Province.
Interestingly, the opening translation of The Analects of Confucius is "learning from time to time is a pleasure", and it is translated as "isn't it a pleasure to study hard and then review?" None of the books I have read have such an explanation. The common explanation is: "Isn't it fun to learn and apply it to practice at the right time?" When I was talking about the Analects of Confucius in the semester of Shanda University, I asked the students of Shanda University, and they also thought it was "reviewing after learning", because their textbooks were written like this, and they would be judged wrong if they didn't answer like this. I asked, "Please raise your hand if you are happy because you often review after class!" -No one. It can be seen how powerful the teaching materials are and how many misunderstandings we have about The Analects.
I have also referred to a book about the Analects of Confucius, which is very "not exquisite". It is the Analects of Confucius in the National Studies of Today's College published by Blue Sky Publishing House, and the cover impressively reads "Kong Qiu's Original Works". The Analects of Confucius was compiled by Confucius' disciples and re-disciples, and all the contents quoted Confucius and his disciples, so it is a big joke to say that "Kong Qiu's original work". Anyone with a little knowledge of Chinese studies knows that when the ancients addressed others, they must not call them by their first names. Even if The Analects was really written by Confucius, it should have been written by Confucius or Zhong Ni, not by Kong Qiu. However, although "The Original Works of Kong Qiu" slipped down the world record, its contents are very enlightening and gradually become an important reference book. Opening books is beneficial, as long as it is a sage book, it is really beneficial!
