The reader of this audiobook Jing Li is a perfect pick for reading this book because she can pronounce Chinese names and places perfectly adding authenticity to the reading, accuracy and a proper ethnic feel. If you have difficulty listening to this, go listen to native accents’ speakers until you learn to pick up English sounds better instead of cursing this academic & qualified reader.
Please oh great chinaologist Explain to us more about how the Chinese lady is more qualified to read Chinese text and pronounce Chinese names than anyone else
I have a book called "Masterpieces of the Orient" and it has many great works and poems from the middle, central, and far east all the way to Japan. It was where I first read sections of the Analects that were included in it. I was moved greatly by this man from the past. I was a 21 year old American from a small town, still trying to make an attempt at "seeing" the world and to see what all was in me, and what I am. Its been almost 11 years, and I've gotta say, I never would've guessed I would have 2 great families. (My wife and kids, and my teammates at our academy). Im apart of Brazuca TMC Brazilian Jujitsu, on the chin hunters boxing team, and making plans to either pick up where I left of with karate, or wait until we get a proper Muay Thai professor and start that. I wish we had a wing chun professor, but a proper Master is few and far between where I am located. As well I have maintained a nice long term sobriety, and have accumulated a fairly impressive library. Thank you for posting this, and have a good day!

Her accent is fiiiine and at most times barely noticeable. The English language comes in a variety of accents whether you're from California or New York or London! Y'all just need to chill, listen, and learn !
Honestly it took me a few moments to work out definitely "yeah, this is an Asian woman", her accent is that mild. That being said I am British, and the way Asian people speak English often reminds me of that, there's some very good schools in many of the countries there that probably teach as "correct" something rather close to the RP (Queen's/"posh"/my own) accent. Perhaps some of the thicker accented Americans are having issues because it diverges more greatly from their drawl? And if you like varieties of accents, look up the absurd number of English ones, from North Eastern to Cockney to posh to West Country (like pirates on a little valium, that's actually where the stereotypical pirate accent came from), etc etc. It's always struck me as peculiar that we're a tiny island with one fifth the population of the US yet I'm sure our accents have just a little more variety.
people complaining about the accents, as a native speaker they're understandable. And as someone with a Yorkshire accent you'd probably have a much harder time understanding mine.
I slip into brummie when mad so go check out a clockwork orange to know what true confusion feels like. Can’t believe people are complaining about a Chinese book being read with a Chinese accent 🤦♀️
There’s a great new technology for just that instance. I believe it’s called “book”. Not positive on the spelling. Saw a episode of modern marvels on them.
@@trentp151 I know, I hear they’re supposed fundamentally to change the way we communicate. I personally think the idea is dangerous as it means anyone who can produce such shapes on paper with meanings can write history as they see it, or moreover how the wish it to be seen. Good luck!
Thanks for the audiobook, the introduction is not correct. In the Great Learning and the Doctrine of the mean, Confucius repeatedly refers to Heaven. He also makes reference to God and spirits.
Every comment I'm reading here says not to complain about the accent, but I haven't read one comment complaining about the accent. So here I'll give you one. Her accent is hard to understand boom. There. Done
I agree completely. While she seems to understand what she is saying, her accent is quite distracting and often makes what she says difficult to understand or requires more than should be required of the listener. I speak Mandarin and am accustomed to interacting in English or Chinese, but still have to listen more carefully than I would wish to this particular recording. Why not use a "native speaker" of the English language for an English language recording??? This is a big question.
@@adrianhdragon718 with a statement like “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law”, you must be thinking of Taoism because that is in no way a Confucian sentiment

Simple, apply generous amount of grease to squeaky wheel. You know 4/20, it wasn't so long ago (when i was putting a lot of 'power' behind you) that things were going a lot smoother for you.

Yesterday i was heavily microwaved which gave me a splitting headache & it's continuing intermittently. I've given innumerable warnings there's only so much I'll put up with. I saw a 5G symbol on my phone despite the fact it's a 4G phone. I heard 5G won't be switched on in one hit, it will slowly be ramped up.

@@ObjectiveZoomerI think she's obviously better at pronouncing names in her native language than a non-native speaker ; that's all.

Moreover I must express my deep indebtedness to the great sages Lao Tzu and Confucious.
Being low down in morals, keeps oneself safe and with good principal, helps others rise.
Thank you! This is a treasure I just found.

"if we cannot even know men, how can we know spirits?"

It's not the accent tbh, it's the speed of the recording. Maybe I should read this instead.
Sorry.. Keyboard failure.
This is truly refreshing an speaks to me. A calling to knowing my self.

Yes there are today millions of living descendents of Confucius, many of whom still have the name Kong (Confucius is westernised Kong Fuzi)

Analects are an irrational book.
Confucianism is a more rational religious tradition than just about any you'll find.

No. That's the way it is.
