KongZi(Confucius) and the Analects of



"Confucius was a Chinese thinker and social philosopher, whose teachings and philosophy have deeply influenced Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Vietnamese thought and life."

I've read a little and heard about Confucius. I've yet to go in depth about any of his writings and philosophies. According to my Chinese friend in Qingdoa I should read Analects of Confucius then I will know China and the Chinese a lot more. Apparently that is how they learned their customs and behaviors etc. that carries on today although times are changing. As a philosophy major, I will inevitably cross paths with this hugely impactful man. Here's a link my friend gave me to possibly the entire book though I plan to buy a translated version in time:
