Abstract

The bamboo book Zhong Gong recordes the dialogue between Confucius and Zhong Gong,who was a student of his.One part of the book is same with the part of Zhong Gong asking politics in The Analects,but the bamboo book is more detailed and some words that can be strung in The Analects are discrete.No forgiving penalty and no stopping moral culture that is said by Confucius in Zhong Gong is different with Confucius thought of rule of virtue.but is similar to some parts of Family Quotation of Confucius.According to the preface which maybe written by Kong Anguo,some discourse of Confucius were amended and the thought trended to be mixed.So some words from Zhong Gong may be not the original condition,when somebody use them to study Confucius thought,they must be cautious.
