Chinese Classics

Chinese classics refer to a body of foundational texts that have significantly shaped Chinese culture, philosophy, governance, and literature over millennia. Major works include the "Analects" of Confucius, which explores ethics and morality; the "Tao Te Ching" by Laozi, focusing on harmony and natural order; and the "Book of Changes" (I Ching), a divination text that emphasizes change and balance. These texts address themes like virtue, governance, and human relationships, and continue to influence not only traditional Chinese thought but also modern philosophical and cultural discussions worldwide.
