隸書 論語 季氏篇

孔子曰：益者三友，損者三友。友直，友諒，友多聞，益矣。友便辟，友善柔，友便佞，損矣。

Clerical Script (lishu)

The Analects, Ji Shi Chapter

Confucius said, “There are three friendships which are advantageous, and three which are injurious. Friendship with the upright, friendship with the sincere, and friendship with the man of erudition - these are advantageous. Friendship with the man of specious airs; friendship with the insinuatingly soft; and friendship with the glib-tongued - these are injurious.”

隸書：源於秦朝(221-206 BC)，在東漢(25-220 AD)時期達到頂峰，故有「漢隸唐楷」之稱。秦始皇(260-210 BC)在書同文的過程中，命李斯(280-208 BC)創立小篆後，也採納了程邈(生卒年不詳)整理的隸書。小篆書寫速度較慢，而隸書化圓轉為方折，提高了書寫效率。

Although originating from the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC), the Clerical Script reached its climax in the following Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD). In conjunction with the Small Seal Script by LI Si (280-208 BC), Qin Shi Huang (260-210 BC) also accepted the Clerical Script, compiled by CHENG Miao (birth and death unknown). The highly rectilinear structure of the Clerical Script makes it easier and faster to write than the Small Seal Script.

論語：孔子和他的弟子及再傳弟子言行為主的匯編，是儒學重要的經典之一。

The Analects is a collection of aphorisms from Confucius, his disciples, and his disciples’ disciples. It is the most important book in Confucianism.

孔子(551-479 BC)，名丘，字仲尼。春秋末期魯國教育家與哲學家，曾任魯大司寇。刪詩書、訂禮樂、贊周易、著春秋，是儒學和儒家的創始人。學不厭、教不倦，使孔子成為「至聖先師」。他主張有教無類，將前此貴族所獨有之禮樂教育普及於平民，學生多至三千人。西漢武帝時，董仲舒(179-104 BC)進言罷黜百家獨尊儒術，奠定了儒家兩千年來的正統學派地位，孔子並被尊為萬世師表。

Confucius (551-479 BC) was born into a rather impoverished family of noble descent in Lu State (within modern Shantung Province). His Chinese name was KONG Chiu, with a courtesy name Zhong-ni. After resigning from his post as minister of Lu State, he travelled to many parts of China. He was, and still is, regarded as the most famous Chinese philosopher and educator. His policy was to accept any person as a disciple, provided that the student was genuinely eager to learn. This idea was revolutionary in a society in which education was the exclusive privilege of the aristocracy. He is credited with educating 3,000 students. He is also one of the first Chinese philosophers to leave behind a collection of teachings that can be reliably ascribed to his philosophy - The Analects. Confucius authored or edited the following works: Classics of Poetry, Book of Documents, Book of Rites, I Ching, and the Spring and Autumn Annals. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the West Han Dynasty (141-87 BC), the Confucian scholar and Imperial courtier DONG Zhong-Su (179-104 BC) recommended and adopted the policy to “reject other schools of thoughts, [and] respect only Confucianism.” Since then, Confucius was highly regarded as the Model for All Ages.

白話譯文

孔子說：有益的朋友有三種，有害的朋友有三種。結交正直的朋友，誠信的朋友，知識廣博的朋友，是有益的。結交諂媚逢迎的人，結交表面奉承而背後誹謗別人的人，結交善於花言巧語的人，是有害的。
