Reihe: Belt, road & Chinese culture / Zhai Jiangyue

This book seeks to reconstruct Kongzi’s thoughts in a systematic way based on a comprehensive grasp of The Analects of Kongzi, and explores Kongzi’s philosophy and wisdom regarding life, education, politics, economics, morality, and ethics, as well as the social function of music, which he also keenly advocated. With the help of some illustrations and classical stories, we try to illustrate the essence of traditional Chinese culture.
