1973réf. 221164China. Circa1973-1976. Original colour propaganda cartoon painted in colour on paper 39.5 x 16.8cm. Minor wear at extremities with a little loss some closed tears across centre horizontal fold neatly repaired on the verso with washi paper. Image very clear. In good condition. This striking anti-Confucian cartoon directly attacks what were seen as obsolete and corrupt values. The intended targets are clearly signalled: “lackeyism” the “restoration of the emperor” and traditional Confucian ethics identified in the inscriptions on the flag and in the smoke rising from the yellow gourd. At the figure’s feet lie red cards bearing the Confucian virtues of loyalty propriety righteousness and benevolence now trampled and discarded. The central figure kneels in an outdated pose of submission marked by a top-knot hairstyle tied with ribbons archaic shoes and a long beard – all deliberate allusions to a feudal past. His red nose suggests moral corruption or weakness. Scattered yellow cards marked with black dots likely symbolise bribery corruption or collaboration with foreign powers. Together these elements create a damning image of a morally bankrupt backward-looking order. The cartoon was almost certainly produced during the “Criticise Lin Criticise Confucius” campaign of 1973–76 when traditional Confucian values were denounced as obstacles to revolutionary progress. . unknown

Lacking usually missing frontis. All edges sprinkled red. An altogether UNSOPHISTICATED copy in WONDERFUL CONDITION.This is a reprint of the Randal Taylors 1691 edition with a false imprint. It was translated and abridged from the Latin translation of Prospero Intocetta Philippe Couplet and others or from an intervening French translation attributed to Louis Cousin or Jean de la Brune.Confucius is thought to have lived from 551-479 B.C. and is considered to be a political and ethical philosopher and would-be reformer who although he failed to achieve his personal ambitions and successes taught a large circle of disciples who carried on developed and greatly altered his teachings. The result was that by the second century B.C. his ideas formed the dominant philosophy of China until the early twentieth century. The work here begins with a Preface followed by chapters that deal with his ideas on Morals; it concludes with a section entitled Maxims of which there are LXXX. A difficult to find book on all accounts and UNCOMMON in such fine condition. FINE COPY IN CONTEMPORARY CALF London Printed for Randal Taylor hardcover books

1933réf. 175804Shanghai: Printed for Members of the Limited Editions Club by the Commercial Press 1933. The publisher's copy with the beautiful redwood box Limited edition number 334 of 1500 copies the copy of George Macy 1900-1956 the founder of the Limited Editions Club with his inked initials and blind stamp on the limitation page. Lionel Giles's translation of the Analects was first published in 1907 and is distinctive for grouping Confucius's sayings thematically rather than according to the classic chapter arrangement. Giles produced his interpretation as a rejoinder to the efforts of the great missionary sinologist James Legge. According to the introduction Legge with his belief in the innate superiority of Christianity misinterpreted Confucianism's "very core and essence" p. 4. Large octavo.

Pages are intact and tight to the spine. Very slight rubbing to front flap of DJ. From a review by Ray Olson in "Booklist": "Nearly all of us think we know Confucius ca. 551-479 B. C. . He is the archetypal Chinese sage spouting cryptic one-liners and to the slightly more knowledgeable the inventor of ancestor worship and the groveling before authority that supposedly hobbled progress in China. With his new translation of the only Confucian text Leys seeks to restore Confucius' reputation by presenting him as an apt teacher for today. Confucius' China was racked by political dissolution and violence and he prescribed ritualized politeness as a means of bolstering order. But he did not countenance injustice venality and the other vices of authority; and he thought that being a gentleman--the most important and desirable status in his political prescription--was something an ethical man from any social class could attain provided he mastered the kind of education the West has called liberal. To Western societies that many find lacking in civility order and virtue Confucius does indeed speak and in this version with maximum clarity thanks to the crystalline introduction and notes as much as to the translation." -- with a bonus offer--; TOS006439; Confucius; Leys Simona/k/a Ryckmans Pierre translator The Analects of Confucius CHINESE HISTORY ORIENTAL PHILOSOPHY . 1997. 0393040194 .

The Morals of Confucius A Chinese Philosopher Who Flourished above Five Hundred Years before the Coming of Christ. Being One of the Choicest Pieces of Learning Remaining of That Nation. London: Printed for Randal Taylor near Stationers-Hall 1691 i.e. 1780. Reprint of the first edition in English of any part of the works of Confucius. Twelvemo 6 5/8 x 3 3/4 inches; 168 x 95 mm. xx 183 1 blank pp. With folding engraved frontispiece portrait of Confucius often absent. Reproduction of the 1691 first edition by the British Library in circa 1780. Although it is commonly noted to have been reprinted in 1780 there has been some debate as to the printing year being as early as 1760. To this our present copy has an ownership inscription dated "1776". Full contemporary calf rebacked to style. Contemporary red morocco spine label lettered in gilt. Top edge dyed brown. Rubbing and scuffing to boards and edges. Front outer hinge cracking along spine. A bit of offsetting to the title page. A few instances of foxing. Previous owner's old ink signatures to front endpapers one of which dated 1776. Some very light browning. Hinges slightly cracked. Otherwise a very good copy. Early printing of Confucius in English containing selections from the works of the philosopher translated from La Morale de Confucius a compilation by J. de la Brune published in Amsterdam in 1688. De la Brune's translation in turn was adapted from the Latin translation of Confucius's Ta Hsueh Chung Yung and the Lun Yu by Intorcetta Couplet Herdtrich and Rougemont published in Paris in 1687. "Confucius was one of the most noted philosophers in Chinese history some have even compared his contributions to Eastern philosophy to those of Socrates in the West. This edition printed in 1691 is interesting in several respects. It shows an awareness of Eastern ideas that one would not normally associate with 17th century England. Additionally the author of this work attempts to put Confucius' ideas into a Western/Christian context. In the advertisement at the front it is stressed that though Confucius was a pagan his ideas are not inconsistent with the teachings of the Bible and his desire for achieving virtue and morality is certainly consistent with the beliefs of 17th century Christian philosophers" Remnant Trust Collection.

réf. 500052037unknown 1111. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Poor. In chinese script "The Virtue of Ghosts and Gods" is a direct translation of a famous phrase from the Chinese classic text the Doctrine of the Mean Zhongyong. The original Chinese phrase is "" Gui shén zhi wèi dé qí shèng yi hu which can be translated as "The virtue of ghosts and gods how mighty it is!". This phrase attributed to Confucius via his grandson Zisi the compiler of the text is used to illustrate the pervasive and subtle nature of Heaven's influence and moral order in the world. It emphasizes that while the actions of spiritual beings ancestors and gods may not be physically seen or heard their effects are embodied in all things and are constantly present in the natural order and human experience. The text contrasts their invisible nature with their manifest influence as proof of a profound all-encompassing virtue. unknown paperback
