The Analects is a Cofucian classic which appeared in book form in the early Warring States Period. Comprising 20 "books" or chapters, it is recorded of dialogues, storeis, and anecdotes of Confucius, the philosopher and educator of ancient China and his disciples and students. While Confucius failed in his lifetime to rescue a crumbling civilization of the Zhou Dynasty with his teachings, he was to become the most influential sage in human history. His thought, still remarkably current and even innovative after 2500 years, survives here in The Analects-a collection of brief aphoristic sayings that has had a deeper impact on more people's lives over a longer period of time than any other book in human history.

The core of The Analects is benevolence, which Confucius thought was "loving people" or having "loyalty and consideration." To achieve benevolence, one had to use "rite" or "propriety" as a norm for "to subdue one's self and return to propriety is bnevolence." What The Analects embodies is not only Confucius' ideal of human community as an integral part of a self-generating and harmonious cosmos, but his educational thought of "imposing no class distinction" and of teaching students according to their aptitude. It also reflects his sceptical attitude towards the supernatural.

The book opens on a sentence beginning with the word 'learn', a constant injunction in the Analects:

The Master said, To learn and at due times to repeat what one has learned, is that not after all a pleasure? That friends should come to one from afar, is this not after all delightful? To remain unsoured even though one's merits are unrecognized by others, is that not after all what is expected of a gentleman?

Based on careful and detailed textual research, the English translation of this edition is a complete one of great influence, one of good translations.

《论语》是第一部儒家经典，成书于战国初期，是中国古代哲学家、教育家孔子的弟子和后学关于孔子思想言行的记录，全书共20篇。《论语》的核心思想是“仁”，孔子认为“仁”即“爱人”，即所谓“忠恕”之道，但“仁”的实现要以“礼”为规范，“克己复礼为仁”。《论语》还体现了孔子提介德治、反对苛政的政治理想，体现了孔子的“有教无类”、因材施教的教育思想，也反映了孔子对鬼神迷信的存疑态度。这部书不但显示一个伟大人格—孔子，并且让读者学习许多做学问的节目：如“君子”、“仁”、“忠恕”，如“时习”、 “阙疑”、“好三”、“隅反”、“择善”、“困学”等，都是可以终身应用的。
