Classical Chinese
Write an essay using the passages you found as evidence to support for your chosen
argument. In writing your essay only use sources that were originally written in classical Chinese.
It is fine to use published translations, of course. However, when quoting you should include the original classical Chinese version of the quote.
NOTE: You can use web-pages like the Chinese Text Project to help with your research, but you need to find an actual published source to cite in the essay.
The essay should present your own ideas about the primary sources.
In few Key points:
– Final essay, use print sources only. A PDF print source still counts as a print
source because it has the original page numbers
– How to find sources for Analects/Lunyu
