【图书简介】 Book Description‘The man of noble character possesses a path of immense value.’Ta Hsueh and Chung Yung are two of the central texts of early Chinese thought， encapsulating Confucian philosophy on the Way of moral cultivation and spiritual attainment. Traditionally held to be the work of two of Confucius’ closet disciples， the books were compiled in their present form late in the second or first century BCE and have occupied a central position in educational and political life for almost a thousand years throughout the East Asian cultural sphere. The texts focus on the connection between internal self-cultivation and the external realization of one’s moral core in the fulfillment of the practical aims of Confucian life： the observation of ritual， the proper conduct of personal relationships， and the grand enterprise of maintaining order in the state and the world.Andrew Plaks’s superb new translation is accompanied by an introduction discussing the significance and influence of the two texts， with a preface by Xinzhong Yao exploring the development of Confucian ideals. This edition also includes a chronological table， notes， guides to interpretation and appendices.Book Dimensionlength： （cm）19.7width：（cm）12.8-读书网|DuShu.com
