Confucianism? Confucianism

ACC-HE

How much understanding do you have about Confucianism?  Does it still apply to the modern world today?  What are its strengths and weaknesses?

Where can one learn about Confucianism?

never mind the personal question.
i think if you are interested in 孔子
the best way is study his original texts
in Chinese Language

sometimes i found the translation
not as good

ACC-HE

reading the original? wouldn't it be super cryptic like the Bible?

Any famous "Cliffs note" version of it (in Chinese)? website? book? thx

i don't even know if that is the right path for u
cause i don't know how much Chinese u already knew
if you are not familiar with 文言文 then again
it could be difficult for you to understand
