Thus Spoke the Master (Chinese-English Edition): The Analects of Confucius, Translated by Xu Yuanchong

The Complete Analects in Chinese and English — Xu Yuanchong’s Translation with the Chinese Text from Yang Bojun’s Classic Annotated Edition — A Bilingual Classic for Reading & Reflection
This book gives you the full text of The Analects—the sayings of Confucius and his disciples—in Chinese and in English translation by Xu Yuanchong, one of China‘s most respected literary translators. The Chinese text follows Yang Bojun’s classic annotated edition, and the English aims to carry not just the meaning but the elegance and rhythm of the original. The Analects is a short book, but it has shaped how Chinese people think about learning, family, government, and how to live well for more than two thousand years. You can read it straight through in either language, or compare the two side by side. If you want to read Confucius in a clear, celebrated English translation, with a trusted Chinese text alongside it—rather than a dry scholarly commentary or a partial selection—this is it.
