The Analects, or Lunyu, also known as the Analects of Confucius, are considered a record of the words and acts of the central Chinese thinker and philosopher Confucius and his disciples, as well as the discussions they held. Written during the Spring and Autumn Period through the Warring States Period (ca. 475 BC - 221 BC), the Analects is the representative work of Confucianism and continues to have a substantial influence on Chinese and East Asian thought and values today. William Jennings was a rector of Grasmere, and late colonial chaplain. He served at St. John's Cathedral in Hong Kong. (Summary by Wikipedia and Jing Li)

I this the whole book?
You are an angel from above. I kid you not.
,,,,,,
The reader of this audiobook Jing Li is a perfect pick for reading this book because she can pronounce Chinese names and places perfectly adding authenticity to the reading, accuracy and a proper ethnic feel.
If you have difficulty listening to this, go listen to native accents’ speakers until you learn to pick up English sounds better instead of cursing this academic & qualified reader.
Please oh great chinaologist Explain to us more about how the Chinese lady is more qualified to read Chinese text and pronounce Chinese names than anyone else
@@ObjectiveZoomerI think she's obviously better at pronouncing names in her native language than a non-native speaker ; that's all.

Moreover I must express my deep indebtedness to the great sages Lao Tzu and Confucious.
I have a book called "Masterpieces of the Orient" and it has many great works and poems from the middle, central, and far east all the way to Japan. It was where I first read sections of the Analects that were included in it. I was moved greatly by this man from the past. I was a 21 year old American from a small town, still trying to make an attempt at "seeing" the world and to see what all was in me, and what I am. Its been almost 11 years, and I've gotta say, I never would've guessed I would have 2 great families. (My wife and kids, and my teammates at our academy). Im apart of Brazuca TMC Brazilian Jujitsu, on the chin hunters boxing team, and making plans to either pick up where I left of with karate, or wait until we get a proper Muay Thai professor and start that. I wish we had a wing chun professor, but a proper Master is few and far between where I am located. As well I have maintained a nice long term sobriety, and have accumulated a fairly impressive library. Thank you for posting this, and have a good day!
Thank you! This is a treasure I just found.
I agree! Beautiful
Being low down in morals, keeps oneself safe and with good principal, helps others rise.
Her accent is fiiiine and at most times barely noticeable. The English language comes in a variety of accents whether you're from California or New York or London! Y'all just need to chill, listen, and learn !
Honestly it took me a few moments to work out definitely "yeah, this is an Asian woman", her accent is that mild. That being said I am British, and the way Asian people speak English often reminds me of that, there's some very good schools in many of the countries there that probably teach as "correct" something rather close to the RP (Queen's/"posh"/my own) accent. Perhaps some of the thicker accented Americans are having issues because it diverges more greatly from their drawl? And if you like varieties of accents, look up the absurd number of English ones, from North Eastern to Cockney to posh to West Country (like pirates on a little valium, that's actually where the stereotypical pirate accent came from), etc etc. It's always struck me as peculiar that we're a tiny island with one fifth the population of the US yet I'm sure our accents have just a little more variety.
It's not the accent tbh, it's the speed of the recording. Maybe I should read this instead.
"if we cannot even know men, how can we know spirits?"
Confucius says "a constipated mathematician must work it out with a pencil."
people complaining about the accents, as a native speaker they're understandable. And as someone with a Yorkshire accent you'd probably have a much harder time understanding mine.
I slip into brummie when mad so go check out a clockwork orange to know what true confusion feels like. Can’t believe people are complaining about a Chinese book being read with a Chinese accent 🤦♀️
Sorry.. Keyboard failure.
This is truly refreshing an speaks to me. A calling to knowing my self.
It would be nice to have English subtitles for those hard of hearing :)
Thanks!
There’s a great new technology for just that instance. I believe it’s called “book”. Not positive on the spelling. Saw a episode of modern marvels on them.
@@TheTmshuman lol really?! Never would have imagined something like that.
@@trentp151 I know, I hear they’re supposed fundamentally to change the way we communicate. I personally think the idea is dangerous as it means anyone who can produce such shapes on paper with meanings can write history as they see it, or moreover how the wish it to be seen. Good luck!

Thanks for the audiobook, the introduction is not correct. In the Great Learning and the Doctrine of the mean, Confucius repeatedly refers to Heaven. He also makes reference to God and spirits.

Every comment I'm reading here says not to complain about the accent, but I haven't read one comment complaining about the accent. So here I'll give you one. Her accent is hard to understand boom. There. Done

If Confucius be singularly great, did he never study, did he just watch himself?
I agree completely. While she seems to understand what she is saying, her accent is quite distracting and often makes what she says difficult to understand or requires more than should be required of the listener. I speak Mandarin and am accustomed to interacting in English or Chinese, but still have to listen more carefully than I would wish to this particular recording. Why not use a "native speaker" of the English language for an English language recording??? This is a big question.
Confucius say, man that go a bed with itchy bum, wake up with smelly finger.

Do he had achildren
Yes there are today millions of living descendents of Confucius, many of whom still have the name Kong (Confucius is westernised Kong Fuzi)
@@ASMRTheory You foreigners are funny
It's okay but I expected better
Morals are meant to keep oneself safe. Not to be preached.
How does one learn about morals if he doesn’t know he’s morally incorrect?

Thank You! :D
perfect.
Love is The Law, Love Under WILL ! Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The LAW!
@BlessedAussie Eye got love
If you want to hear that, you've come to the wrong place lol
@@michigandersea3485 A few millennia earlier huh ???
@@adrianhdragon718 with a statement like “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law”, you must be thinking of Taoism because that is in no way a Confucian sentiment
@@michigandersea3485 Perhaps best indeed. Good observation fellow netizen. Witch one of the schools are ye most inclined or well versed into ???
Confucius says "I went to fart, but I didn't." 😮

What’s that have to do with the teacher?
Analects are an irrational book.
Confucianism is a more rational religious tradition than just about any you'll find.
Confucius say; (in inscrutable Chinese voice) when small cog in big machine very squeaky & represent danger to smooth operation of big machine, what is answer¿? Simple, apply generous amount of grease to squeaky wheel.
You know 4/20, it wasn't so long ago (when i was putting a lot of 'power' behind you) that things were going a lot smoother for you. When it appeared quite obvious to me that it didn't matter how many freebies & assistance i gave you i wasn't going to get my money i stopped. You know how the business world works 4/20. Incentive. You haven't provided me with any incentive to keep assisting you. When you give me what i need then I'll give you what you need. Yesterday i was heavily microwaved which gave me a splitting headache & it's continuing intermittently. I've given innumerable warnings there's only so much I'll put up with. I saw a 5G symbol on my phone despite the fact it's a 4G phone. I heard 5G won't be switched on in one hit, it will slowly be ramped up. It better not happen where i, my mother or father live or I'll take it as murderous intent. Time is running out 4/20... ...... .........

Wanted: a competent English language reader for The Analecta of Confucius.
No. That's the way it is.
Yoda is a disciple of the great Kung.
Or is it the other way around.
