Just noticed this short article in Xinhua about the launch of a web site by the Chinese Confucius Foundation, the organization that oversees the Sage’s family site in Qufu, and which tries to centralize and manage all things Confucius.  At this point, there are no English language pages, but it could prove to be a good resource for those who read Chinese and have an interest in Confucius.   The home page is here.  A copy of the Analects is here.  And the spirit of intellectual pluralism, there are articles on Mohism, Taoism, Sun Tzu, and even Legalism. 

     I wonder what they think a Confucian position on gay marriage might be?

     Some nice images, too:

      Above is calligraphy of "Lun Yu" – The Analects; below is, I believe, a scene from the Beijing Confucius Temple (where I visited last year):

    Didn’t one of the Sage Kings occasionally ‘bite the bitter peel’? I think that is the euphemism.
