These books are the fourth and fifth in a series of symposia devoted to the principals of Chinese thought as these have influenced the cultural life and institutional development of China. . .The emphasis in the symposia is upon two aspects of the Confucian tradition. One is the operational force of Confucianism: how it has affected individual lives and the evolution of institutions. The other is the pattern of growth and change: the complex ways in which it has been adapted to the shifting needs of the Chinese through twenty-five centuries of their history.
