論語者，二十篇，羣弟子，記善言。孟子者，七篇止，講道德，說仁義。作中庸，子思筆，中不偏，庸不易。作大學，乃曾子，自修齊，至平治。TrTranslation
論語者，二十篇，羣弟子，記善言。
The Analects has twenty books, in which the disciples recorded the Master's good words.
孟子者，七篇止，講道德，說仁義。
The Mencius ends at seven books. It speaks of the Way and virtue, of benevolence and rightness.
作中庸，子思筆，中不偏，庸不易。
The Doctrine of the Mean came from the brush of Zisi. “Mean” is not leaning; “constant” is not changing.
作大學，乃曾子，自修齊，至平治。
The Great Learning was written by Zengzi. It runs from cultivating oneself and ordering one's family to governing the state and bringing peace to the world.
Draft translation; it will be revised when the lecture is filmed.
From the Father's Lecture Notes
Four groups, one book each: the Analects, the Mencius, the Doctrine of the Mean, the Great Learning. It is the most neatly built lecture in the book, and splitting it only confuses. You need not explain what the books say; it is enough to make clear who wrote each one, how long it is and what direction it takes.
Translated from Yikonglu's Father's Lecture Notes for the Three Character Classic, written for a parent teaching a child.
