The Analect

Presenting conversations around Chinese contemporary culture, bitesized and edited.

We are a site for contemporary Chinese culture in the West, tracking the insider's news to what is happening in New York and across America. Our aim is not to direct a discussion on Chinese culture but to open up the gates to an exploration of it. A true translation of 'Analects', the term used to describe Confucius' 2,000-year-old teachings and philosophies, is 'edited conversations'. Here is The Analect, presenting conversations around Chinese contemporary culture, bitesized and edited.
