This lecture takes a break from academic research and disciplines to recreate the contestants of the "Analects" as life-size personalities.
Although the context in which the words of the classics were written differs from that of today, we believe that it is the role of future generations to bring the words to life in accordance with the times. The "Analects of Confucius" in particular is an attempt to bring Confucius and his many disciples back to life in the age of harmony.
The Analects consists of some 500 short sentences. The book is often written in the form of a question asked by a disciple and answered by Confucius, so it is difficult to understand unless you know the character and position of the disciple, but it does show that there are still people who are the same after 2500 years. I have selected about 200 of these 500 short articles. You can watch or listen to any of these 200 items whenever you like.
