It is believed to have been written during the \u003cem\u003eWarring States\u003c\/em\u003e period (475 BC-221 BC), and it achieved its final form during the mid-Han dynasty (206 BC-220 AD). By the early \u003cem\u003eHan\u003c\/em\u003e dynasty the \u003cem\u003eAnalects\u003c\/em\u003e was considered merely a \"commentary\" on the Five Classics, but the status of the \u003cem\u003eAnalects\u003c\/em\u003e grew to be one of the central texts of Confucianism by the end of that dynasty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring the late \u003cem\u003eSong\u003c\/em\u003e dynasty (960-1279) the importance of the \u003cem\u003eAnalects\u003c\/em\u003e as a philosophy work was raised above that of the older Five Classics, and it was recognized as one of the \"Four Books\". The \u003cem\u003eAnalects\u003c\/em\u003e has been one of the most widely read and studied books in China for the last 2,000 years, and continues to have a substantial influence on Chinese and East Asian thought and values today. They were very important for Confucianism and China's overall morals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 76\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.18 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 15, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52701706125619,"sku":"9789176372982","price":16.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Tm9uV1hqd0FwS0lQQkt0SWtSVDZuQT09.webp?v=1763272759","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-analects-of-confucius-wisehouse-classics-edition-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
