520			_a"The Chinese Classics — Prolegomena" by James Legge is a scholarly treatise on ancient Chinese texts written during the late 19th century. The work focuses specifically on the Chinese Classics, which include foundational texts such as the works attributed to Confucius and his disciples, and aims to provide critical and exegetical notes, as well as a structured explanation of their content and context in Chinese culture. The opening of the text outlines the classification of the Chinese Classics, dividing them into "The Five Ching" and "The Four Books," and discusses their historical significance and authority within Chinese scholarship. It highlights key works such as the "Analects," the "Great Learning," and the "Doctrine of the Mean," noting how these texts have shaped philosophical discourse in China and their consolidation through historical events, including commentary and editing efforts by scholars from different dynasties. Legge delves into the origins and compilations of these classics, providing insight into their literary and historical contexts, which establishes the groundwork for further exploration of their themes and teachings throughout the rest of the work.
