To complement my little series on Shakespeare (like I’d know), there’s now a quorum of Confucius quotes:
- On not noticing the taste of meat for three months
- “When the rites are lost, seek throughout the countryside”

- Confucius enlisted by a stammering general to put down a heckler in the Romance of the three kingdoms
- “Confucius, Mencius, various dumpling shapes, I’ve studied them all!” (n.1 here)
