Lun yu (论语Analects of Confucius) is a collection of Confucius' lifetime words and deeds, recorded by his students or even their students. The book systematically reflects the thoughts of Confucius on matters of humanism, ethics, education, state affairs management and other themes.
As a shining gem in the treasure house of Chinese culture, the Lun yu was found in wide circulation as early as in the late Spring and Autumn Period and early Warring States Period, or about 2,400 years ago, before it became the most authoritatively referenced orthodox book of Confucianism in Chinese history.
The Lun yu is composed of 20 chapters, with more than 10,000 Chinese characters. Broad and profound, concise yet comprehensive, the Lun yu was respected as the textbook of life for the Chinese people, and had an enormous influence on the development of Chinese thought and culture in olden times.
