Jo Myung-hwa: Commentary on the Analects 1
Because the *Analects* is written in Chinese characters that are difficult to clearly convey meaning, countless commentaries have been produced; however, *Analects Translation and Critique* compiles authoritative commentaries from across history to provide the most rational commentary on the *Analects*.

Arbitrary interpretations were avoided in the commentary and translation, and modified sections or expressions of nuances not evident in the original text are distinguished by placing them in parentheses.
