The Sayings of Confucius or The Analects of Confucius
by Confucius 孔子
'The Sayings of Confucius or The Analects of Confucius' Summary
He also held high positions in the government in the kingdom of Lu where he reached the peak of his political career and became the confidant of the Duke. His works became the foundation for centuries of Chinese intellectual thought and are revered even today. His philosophy is based on the concept of “ren” or compassion, and his famous Golden Rule, “What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others,” remains immortal. “He who learns but does not think is lost, he who thinks but does not learn is in great danger” is another example.
The genealogical descendants of Confucius still exist in China, where the Kong family has the oldest recorded ancestry in the world, but his spiritual family is scattered all over the world and across generations. Confucius' teachings continue to delight, enlighten and educate us and his Sayings remain relevant and fresh even in this modern Age of Information.
