家Other commentaries
Our base text is Zhu Xi's Collected Commentaries (above). Here are other commentaries side by side: for old commentaries, the first line of the sub-commentary with a link to the woodblock scan; for modern editions, one short quoted translation for comparison. The “compared with Zhu Xi” notes are written by Yikonglu, not quoted.

Compared with Zhu Xi
| Commentary | Point | Relation | Confidence | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 杨伯峻《论语译注》 | same | settled | 亲丧最见自尽真情，致为尽其极；朱强调诚自然不能已，杨译充分发挥情感而非礼仪炫示。 | |
| 钱穆《论语新解》 | same | fairly sure | 同以致为尽极，亲丧是人真情最不能自已处，若此尚不用诚则他处难言诚；不是劝漫无节制伤生。 |
