Folio Society, Apr 1, 2007 - Literary Criticism - 108 pages
Approximately 500 years B.C. the wise and revered Chinese teacher, Confucius (or K'ung Futse) uttered these simple truths about nearly every aspect of life. Taken individually, they are merely simple stories and aphorisms. Taken as a whole, they serve to impart a way of living that has influenced Chinese society for centuries, and their influence continues today in both the East and the West.
