Trust and transparency
About
The mission, boundaries, and editorial identity of lunyu.ai: verifiable bilingual Analects content, passage by passage.
Mission
lunyu.ai uses each Analects passage as the smallest reading unit, presenting simplified Chinese source text, a reviewed modern Chinese guide, James Legge's public-domain English translation, notes, indexes, and listening entry points.
The goal is not to create a new authoritative edition, but to keep source, explanation, and modern reflection separated so readers and search/AI systems can verify them.
Editorial identity
The site publishes through the lunyu.ai editorial workflow, not through a claim of personal scholarly authority. Each content change should preserve source, batch, check, and correction records.
Current coverage: modern Chinese guide 499/499, English translation 499/499, passage-level pinyin 499/499.
