Note (return) — Chapter IV · - THE CHINESE ETHICAL SYSTEM IN JAPAN
Reading edition
His own table-talk, conversations, discussions and notes were compiled by his pupils, and are preserved in the work entitled in English, "The Confucian Analects," which is one of the four books constituting the most sacred portion of Chinese philosophy and instruction. He also wrote a work named "Spring and Autumn, or Chronicles of his Native State of Lu from 722 B.C., to 4814 B.C." He "changed his world," as the Buddhists say, in the year 478 B.C., having lived seventy-three years.
