As the saying goes, If an old dog barks, he gives counsel.Old men, who walk more roads, eat more rice, read more books, have more experiences, enjoy more happiness, and endure more sufferings are experienced and knowledgeable, with rich life experience. Thus, what they say is mostly wise counsel, and young people should listen to them.We have compiled these nuggets of wisdom uttered by old men of the various ancient schools of thought into this series Wise Men Talking, and added explanatory notes and English translation for the benefit of both Chinese and overseas readers fond of traditional Chinese culture.俗曰：“不听老人言，吃亏在眼前。”老人家走的路多，吃的饭多，看的书多，经的事多，享的福多，受的罪多，可谓见多识广，有丰富的生活经验。老人家是中国历史上的文化巨人，他们留下的千古名篇是人类文明的共同遗产。本书为“老人家说系列丛书”之一，将孔子老人家的至理名言收录其中，加以注释并译成英文，采取汉英对照出版，以飨海内外有心有意于中国传统文化的广大读者。
