Autorenporträt

Authored by Wilhelm, Richard

Inhaltsangabe

Chapter 1 1.Translators' Note. The Shih Chi of Sse-Ma Ch'ien has been
translated into French as Les mémoires historiques de Se-Ma Ts'ien traduits
et annotés par Edouard Chavannes, Paris, 1905. The life of Confucius is
found in Chapter XLVII, pp. 282 ff. Both Wilhelm and Chavannes follow the
general tendency among Sinologues in referring to Confucius as K'ung Tze.
As will be seen from the text, K'ung is his family name; the Tze is a usual
designation among the Chinese for master, philosopher, etc. Thus also Lao
Tze, where Lao means old. The style or appellation (Chinese hao) is the
literary designation; as his cognomen, Ch'iu, has become a sacred word and
is therefore tabu, Confucius is referred to by his literary designation,
Chung Ni. The word Chung means: the second born of brothers; Confucius was
regarded as the second born, the hill Ni being held as the elder; Chapter 2
CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF THE DATA OF SSE-MA CH'IEN. THE HISTORICAL
SIGNIFICANCE OF CONFUCIUS; Chapter 3 THE DOCUMENTS CONTAINING THE CONFUCIAN
TEACHINGS; Chapter 4 THE TEACHINGS OF CONFUCIUS; Chapter 5 SPECIMENS OF THE
