Matteo Ricci translated China's four books: The Analects of Confucius, Mencius, The University and The Doctrine of the Mean.

Reference: Matteo Ricci made it clear in many letters that he translated these four books and sent them back to Europe. For example, in his letter 1594165438+1October15, he said, "I started translating several years ago (press 159 1). (Matteo Ricci Letters, page 143) The whereabouts of this book are still unknown. Meng Dewei, an American scholar, believes that this book has long been used as a Chinese textbook for Jesuits who entered China in China, and later became a Chinese textbook for Bai Yingli. China philosopher Confucius compiled by others (1624- 1692). This is just an opinion. Personally, I think the manuscript of this book will be found because Matteo Ricci made it clear that he sent it back to Rome.
