This commentary on the Analects will bring you back in time to meet the Sage whose teachings on benevolence and integrity are deeply infused within the Chinese culture。 Confucius’ students included political advisors，military strategists，educators，businessmen，philosophers，warlords，and kings。 How could he possibly teach his way so calmly and gracefully through states and kingdoms of hegemons vying for regional power？ Who was this man！？ This is a book by two masters，one ancient and one contemporary，both enigmatic。 The lives of Confucius and Master Nan Huai-Chin (Nan Huaijin)，in many ways，parallel each other。 Both lived through tumultuous times，both had to leave their home state and wander only to return in old age to their birthplace。 They were teachers，learned in many fields and arts and in life itself，but not scholars in the traditional sense；rather，they were masters of all they engaged in。 They had students from all walks of life，were advisors of statesmen of all ranks and were flan
