Kongzi Jiayu

[edit]

Cover of an 1895 print of the Kongzi Jiayu

  • ... that scholars concluded that The School Sayings of Confucius (1895 cover pictured) was a 3rd-century forgery, before similar texts were discovered in tombs dating centuries earlier?

  • New (16th), long enough, neutral, can't spot check copyvio as all sources are offline, QPQ done. Hook is immediately referenced in article. ce'd hook. Image PD. Please ping me if I don't respond. Nice work! czar  18:15, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for your review, czar. Just want to point out that all the sources are actually online, and are directly linked to Google books or online PDF from the Bibliography section. Cheers, -Zanhe (talk) 23:22, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads up—I inferred that all of them were offline after seeing that Kung Tzu Chia Yu linked to a listing and not a GB/PDF. I'll check in a moment czar  23:25, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
  • For the record, almost all of the refs were to the aforementioned, offline Kramers source, which now has an online link (thank you). The first part of the hook checks out (the 3rd century forgery part), but I have to AGF on the Chinese-language sources that say that scholars changed their minds. No copyvio in a spot check. gtg czar  23:52, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
