Lunyu
Lunyu (C. 論語). "Analects". The recorded sayings of the Chinese master Confucius and the most fundamental text of Confucianism.[1]
Commonly known in English by the title of "Analects (of Confucius)". Written in twenty chapters, it is thought to be a composition of the late Spring and Autumn period.
Lunyu is one of the most influential texts in East Asian intellectual history, which centers on the teachings of Confucius, by including teaching attributed to him, as well as some of his prominent disciples. It is within this work that most of the basic framework regarding Confucian values such as humanity (ren), justice 義, filial piety 孝, and propriety 禮 is developed. There are various theories regarding its compilation, but it is obvious that it is somewhat of a patchwork, assembled over a period of time.[2]
