Trust and transparency
Method
The lunyu.ai editorial method: source text, guide, translation, index, and local reflection kept in separate layers.
Layering principle
Each passage page separates source text, modern Chinese guide, James Legge translation, notes, related indexes, and local reflection. AI or rule-generated content must never be mixed into the source text or translations.
The listening page includes recorded audio; 318/499 chapters are playable, unrecorded chapters are labeled instead of leading to 404s, and passage-level pinyin is fully rendered.
Corrections
When a typo, truncation, translation mismatch, or interpretive error is found, the workflow returns to public-domain sources and site data; classic text is not filled from memory.
Correction path: cite the exact URL, passage number, and issue. The public correction page is https://www.lunyu.ai/en/method#corrections.
