Analects Reader
Livres
Gratuit · Achats intégrés · Conçue pour iPad. Non validée pour macOS.
The complete Analects of Confucius: all twenty books and 512 passages, in the original Chinese and in English, built for actually reading it.
Every character is tappable. The card that opens shows what the character means here, in this passage — not a dictionary's one-size answer — along with its reading, the terms it belongs to, and how it is used across the whole book. Pinyin sits over the characters when you want it and disappears when you don't.
READ IT YOUR WAY
• Study — the full apparatus: text, translation, pinyin, tappable words, per-passage tone coloring.
• Translation — the English as a book. The original waits one tap away under each passage.
• Chinese — the received text alone, unglossed, with the English one tap away.
• Classical — the text as old editions set it, in columns right to left. Four pages to choose from: one typeset, and three photographed from real copies held in Tokyo, Taipei, and Kyoto — a Qing manuscript, a Ming block print, and a 1550 scholar's copy — with every character mapped, so the glosses work even on a photograph.
Scroll the book as one column, or turn it one passage per page, like a printed book.
THE COMMENTARY GROWS WITH THE PODCAST
The app carries the episode guides from the Exploring the Analects podcast — passage by passage: the philosophical discussion, the historical context, the language notes, with the audio a tap away. New episodes arrive as they are published.
YOURS, IN THE FULLEST SENSE
Notes you take live in your own iCloud Drive as Markdown — readable anywhere, and they outlive the app. The Chinese text is built in and always works offline. There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics, and no tracking: nothing about your reading is collected.
Everything is free — the text, both translations, the glosses, the classical pages, the commentary. A tip jar exists for those who want to keep the project going; nothing is unlocked, because nothing is locked.
Notes et avis
- Cette app n’a pas reçu suffisamment de notes ou d’avis pour en proposer un aperçu.
1. Copy any text. Long-press the first character (or word), then tap the last, and Copy.
2. Simpler navigation. The floating tab bar is gone, and Back always returns you to where you were.
- 講 at the top of the book list opens Explore: episodes, commentary, conversations and notes.
- A red dot on 講 shows when something is new.
- The audio player now sits at the foot of the screen.
3. Report a problem. Every character's card ends with "Report a problem with this". The report is anonymous, and the passage and characters go with it. Settings → More info & help has a general report too.
4. Now runs on iOS 15.1 and later.
5. Various small navigation and readability fixes
