Mengzi: Bilingual Edition, English and Chinese

The book of wisdom by Mencius, the revered sage of Ancient China, is presented here in its original and authoritative Chinese, together side by side with the respected translation to English by James Legge.

Written during and shortly after the Warring States period of Chinese antiquity, the book of Mencius is a selection of conversational dialogues between the philosopher and his various disciples. Together they discuss all manner of topics, from living a happy and virtuous life to the principles of raising a family and educating the young.

Breaking with Confucius himself, who venerated rulers and strong governance, Mencius argues for the right of common people to overthrow a repressive or brutal regime. The book is rich with analogy, examining the actions of the ancient kings and dukes of China in order to draw comparisons and enhance the lessons offered.

In life, Mencius was a prominent figure who travelled and lectured widely, serving variously as an educator, official and scholar in the realms of ancient China. His mother was by all accounts a paragon of virtue - to this day, Chinese society considers her and her influence on Mencius's own published thoughts to be worthy of veneration.
