Talk:Confucius
From Wikiquote
Wow! Confucious has certainly inspired a lot of quotes! And I love the original chinese there... excellent stuff. -- Neolux 15:38 29 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- And lot of stuff that is not from Confucius, I guess...

[edit] Pinyin
How about some pinyin on these quotes?
[edit] Translation
Is the "translation" on these quotes really needed? I think they are easy enough to understand, and open enough for other interpretations depending on the reader. Seems out of place to dictate exactly what the translations should be.
Anyone disagree?
- English translations are needed, but what you seem to be refering to are interpretive comments of IP 69.154.142.9 that were added and labelled "translations". I have just removed or reverted most of these. ~ Rumour 09:59, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sections
This is one hell of a list, is anyone willing to spend some time putting these into sections? It was nice reading a few but after a while it became very repetitive and if maybe there was section you could see little bits on various areas of philosophy/proverbs/whatever these quotes are called. 195.137.118.89 19:38, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hi
Confucius was awsome
[edit] "unsourced" quotes?
These unsourced quotes, are they quotes that are probably by confusious but hard to source, or probably NOT by confusious but are commonly attributed to him? 124.243.156.76 16:08, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] sourced/unsourced
basically, it seems like a common academic belief (i study chinese literature and so I'm taught, but I'm no luminary) that anything confucius comes from a 3rd party source, apparently we don't have a single piece of text written by the man himself - those are either the work of his disciples or plain falsifications.
a little pinyin would be appreciated, especially since the quotes are written with traditional characters (which is a bad thing itself, simplified characters are the standard by now even for traditional texts - they are the ones taught in mainland china and to foreigners).
sorry for crappy english but i got a nasty temperature so i'm not going to recheck they're maybe erors in the teckst pleese fore give me asdgshdk blblblblbllb goin' to bed, i feel like shit
