Timeless wisdom. Spiritual guidance. Ethical formation. These are all reasons the modern reader would consult the Sishu, known in English as the Four Books. The Shishu has served these purposes in China and other parts of the Far East for over two millennia. It is an authoritative canon of texts for the religio-philosophical tradition known as Ruism, or Confucianism in the West. The edition features James Legge's timeless translation coupled with the original Chinese in one volume. It includes exegetical notes from Zhu Xi and other ancient commentators. It also contains various helps including biographies of Confucius, Mencius, and Zhu Xi, articles explaining important Ruist concepts, a list of Confucius' disciples, and maps.
