ABSTRACT

We can say that The Analects is the most famous text among Chinese Classics. How could The Analects has still been read and get persuasive by the populace during 2,500 years? This might be because The Analects has a ‘declaration’ of promise to be a ‘true person’, and the declaration has been acted as a compass of all ages for human being. This compass means some virtues which must be kept in our life and a guide book which lead us to the path of moral perfection; that is, it means that there is a lot of truth in The Analects. Nevertheless, many contents in The Analects are so familiar with our daily life, so we could easily fail to read between the lines and miss many kernel meanings. In this paper, I tried to shed new light on The Analects so as to investigate saint Confucius' mind as a preceptor in this book and examine the real meaning for modern people to read it. As we already know, during 2,500 years, there has been so many commentaries on The Analects. I extracted very disputable and exciting parts in The Analects and selected different views from some commentaries, in order to make a comparative study, to show various attitude to Confucius and his disciples. In all these process, I made an attempt to keep a hermeneutic point of view, and to establish a desirable and applicable educational spirit of Confucius practically.
