Chinese classical texts

Chinese classical texts are foundational works of Chinese literature, philosophy, and history, written over millennia. Key texts include the "Analects" of Confucius, which outlines ethical teachings; the "Tao Te Ching," attributed to Laozi, which explores the concept of Dao (the Way) and harmony with nature; and the "I Ching," a divination manual that also serves as a philosophical guide. These texts influence Chinese culture, governance, and personal conduct, emphasizing moral values, social harmony, and the relationship between humanity and the cosmos. They remain crucial for understanding Chinese thought and civilization today.
