In this paper, translations of The Analects, The Works of Mencius, The Li Ki, Classic of Filial Piety, The Doctrine of the Mean, Book of Poetry, and Book of Documents are by James Legge, occasionally with our revisions where appropriate. Following conventional practice, the source is indicated, for example, as "The Analects, 13:18," which stands for The Analects, chapter 13, section 18, and The Works of Mencius, as "2A:6," which stands for chapter 2, part 1, section 6
