conversations.value: The Analects
  Translated by E. V. Rieu Revised and updated by Peter Jones with D. C. H. Rieu Edited with an introduction and notes by Peter Jones
  Before 1946...'Classics' are mainly the domain of academics and students, without readable editions for everyone else. This all changes when a little-known classicist, E. V. Rieu, presents Penguin founder Allen Lane with the translation of Homer's Odyssey that he has been working on and reading to his wife Nelly in his spare time.
  This line is from Ode 297 where it describes a team of horses going straight ahead without swerving to left or right.
  Not being the lord of the state of Lu, the head of the Chi Family was not entitled to perform the sacrifice to Mount T'ai and it would be a violation of the rites for Mount T'ai to accept the sacrifice.
  After the overthrow of the two dynasties, the descendants of the Hsia were enfeoffed in the state of Ch'i while those of the Yin were enfeoffed in the state of Sung.

conversations.value: This passage is not attributed to any speaker. It seems to consist of a number of unconnected parts on various aspects of government. Although one of these parts, as we have just pointed out, is, indeed, attributed to Confucius in XVII.6, it would be rash to infer from this that Confucius must be responsible for everything else as well.
  In the light of the answer, the question should cover all five excellent practices instead of only the first.
  It is interesting that throughout the conversation Tzu-lu remained silent. The fact is, Tzu-lu and Jan Yu were never in the service of Chi K'ang Tzu at the same time. This conversation must have been between Confucius and Jan Yu alone, and Tzu-lu's name was added by someone who was unaware of the facts.
  Cheng Hsüan's version is no longer extant, though a partial manuscript copy done by a twelve-year-old schoolboy in 710 A.D. was discovered in Sinkiang in 1969.
  There is a third story which is likely to belong to this category. In VI.28 is an account of Tzu-lu's anger over the audience Confucius had with Nan Tzu, the notorious wife of Duke Ling of Wei. Here, however, we have no positive evidence that the story is apocryphal.
