About the Author

Confucius

Confucius

Confucius [551-479 BC], though of noble descent, was born in humble circumstances. He believed that politics is only an extension of morals, and spent ten years travelling through the various states of China spreading his ideas.

D.C Lau has held a number of professorships in the field of Chinese language and literature.
