The Chinese Classics — Volume 1: Confucian Analects

Opening of the book

A note from the digitizer for the Big 5 version
Your computer must have the Big 5 character set
(Traditional
Chinese) installed to display the Chinese text in this
file
correctly.
This text preserves the original page breaks. In a few
places I
have substituted the character forms available in the Big
5
character set for rare or (what are now considered)
nonstandard forms used by Legge. Characters not included
in
the Big 5 character set in any form are described by their
constituent elements.
A note for the Unicode version
This Unicode version was made directly from the Big 5
original,
and so the same note about substitute characters applies;
no
attempt has been made to undo the substitutions. However,
of
course, you will need support for Unicode rather than Big
5
to view this file.

CHAP. II. 1. The philosopher Yu said, 'They are
few who,
being filial and fraternal, are fond of offending against
their
superiors. There have been none, who, not liking to offend

confusion.
