confucianism
the analects (; ; old chinese: "*[r]u[n] ŋ(r)aʔ"; literally "selected sayings", also known as the analects of confucius, is an ancient chinese book composed of a collection of sayings and ideas attributed to the chinese philosopher confucius and his contemporaries, traditionally believed to have been compiled and written by confucius's followers. it is believed to have been written during the warring states period (475–221 bc), and it achieved its final form during the mid-han dynasty (206 bc–220 ad). by the early han dynasty the "analects" was considered merely a "commentary" on the five classics, but the status of the "analects" grew to be one of the central texts of confucianism by the end of that dynasty.
analects
throughout the "analects", confucius's students frequently request that confucius define "ren" and give examples of people who embody it, but confucius generally responds indirectly to his students' questions, instead offering illustrations and examples of behaviours that are associated with "ren" and explaining how a person could achieve it. according to confucius, a person with a well-cultivated sense of "ren" would speak carefully and modestly ("analects" 12.3); be resolute and firm ("analects" 12.20), courageous ("analects" 14.4), free from worry, unhappiness, and insecurity ("analects" 9.28; 6.21); moderate their desires and return to propriety ("analects" 12.1); be respectful, tolerant, diligent, trustworthy and kind ("analects" 17.6); and love others ("analects" 12.22). confucius recognized his followers' disappointment that he would not give them a more comprehensive definition of "ren", but assured them that he was sharing all that he could ("analects" 7.23).
