Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Lun yu , a masterpiece of ancient Chinese philosophy, is among the most influential books in Chinese history. Legge’s English translation of lun yu has stood the test of time, distinguished as the standard work by which subsequent translations of the classics have been judged. The most remarkable quality of Legge’s version is its faithfulness in content, owing to Legge’s scholarly industry and keen perception of the original. Legge ensured a comprehension of Confucianism from his readership which is similar to the general Chinese interpretation. In spite of some referential and pragmatic inaccuracy, any careful, patient and judicious Western reader is able to perceive Confucius’ key concepts (Ren, Li, etc.), and his ethical, political, philosophical and educational thoughts through Legge’s translation. Legge had made a great contribution to the introduction of Confucianism and the Chinese culture to the West. Key words: Lun yu ; Legge; translation; faithfulness

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
