Listen "San Zi Jing"
Episode Synopsis
The 三字經, usually translated as the Three Character Classic, is a fascinating text because it functions like a "my first Confucian text." Children were given this text when they were quite young and asked to memorize the book, teaching them moral lessons that would prepare them to master the real Confucian classics later in life. In this episode, Rob and Lee debate the first few lines of the poem. Just a note: we recorded this in 2018, and then we added a prologue to the front end of the podcast.
