The+Analects

The Analects are a record of the words, teachings, and acts of the central Chinese thinker Kung Fuzi (Confucius) and his disciples. The Analects contain the discussions that the philosopher had with his students along with knowledge that he taught his students about philosophy and life. The Chinese title of the Analects literally means "discussion over Confucius' words." Confucius himself did not write the Analects, instead they were compiled by his students from their experience and knowledge of his teachings. These writings became the basis of Confucianism, a major philosophy most famously used by the Han dynasty of China.
