Enormous differences in cultural background between the East and the West, however, result in varied under-standings of"ren". In this paper, a detailed comparison between Ku Hung-ming's translation of The Analects of Confucius andthat of James Legge's is made to analyze the the impact of different cultural background on the understanding and translation of"ren"in the relevant contexts. It is concluded that cultural difference exerts a great influence on the English versions of The Ana-lects of Confucius.展开更多

As one of the excellent traditional cultural spirits, the "feelings of family and country" is reflected in many ancient documents. Its connotation is very rich, including filial piety and loyalty, respect for elders, benevolence, relatives and friends and many other aspects. Starting with the "Analects of Confucius", teachers explain the feelings of family and country embodied in it, hoping to provide reference for the teaching of “Chinese in Junior Middle School” and promote the cultivation of students' feelings of family and country.展开更多
